I'VE BEEN WORKING AT MY JOB FOR ABOUT 2 STRAIGHT YEARS NOW. STARTED IN 2007 AND I'VE BEEN TOLD COUNTLESS TIMES "YOU WILL BE PUT ON PAYROLL". NOT KNOWING ANYTHING, I JUST WENT WITH IT. IT STARTED TO GET A BIT TOO MUCH AFTER ABOUT 6 MONTHS OF THEM USING THAT EXCUSE. WHEN IT CAME TIME FOR ME TO FILE 2007 LAST YEAR (2008) I WAS HANDED A 1099, INTURN I WAS TO PAY $1,300. AFTER THE 6 OR SO MONTHS OF WAITING TO BE PLACED ON PAYROLL I FINALLY WAS GIVEN THE W4. I BELIEVED IT WAS JUST EXCUSES TO PUSH BACK AND NOT HAVE TO PAY THE EMPLOYEE TAXES. SINCE SIGNING THE W4, I FINALLY HAD TAX DEDUCTION (BOTH STATE AND FEDERAL) FROM EACH PAY CHECK.
IT IS NOW MID-MARCH 2009 AND I STILL HAVEN'T RECEIVED MY W2. TODAY THE ACCOUNT TELLS ME "I JUST FINISHED YOUR W2 BUT I STILL HAVE YOUR 1099 TO FINISH". IT AGGRIVATES ME BECAUSE I HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE 1099 AGAIN? I AM NOT CONTRACTED, I AM AN EMPLOYEE. ON TOP OF THAT IT IS MARCH 18TH AND I HAVEN'T RECEIVED THE FORMS WHICH ARE SUPPOSE TO BE GIVEN TO EMPLOYEES BY JAN 31ST!
WHICH LEADS TO MY QUESTION... CAN MY EMPLOYEE GIVE ME BOTH W2 AND 1099 AT THE SAME TIME? I DON'T EVEN DO ANYTHING OTHER THAN WHAT MY JOB ENTAILS ME TO DO. I GET BONUS', PAID WITH THE SAME BUSINESS LINE CHECK THEY PAY MY PAYCHECK, THAT SHOULDN'T THAT BE ON THE W2? ARE THEY JUST PUTTING ME ON 1099 TO NOT HAVE TO PAY THE PAYROLL TAX OR FICA?
I'VE BEEN SEARCHING HIGH AND LOW ON THE INTERNET FOR ANSWERS. I SEEN SOME PEOPLE SAY THAT YOU CAN USE YOUR PAY STUB TO FILE TAX. I'VE BEEN WORKING THERE FOR 2 YEARS STRAIGHT AND UNTIL THIS DAY I DON'T EVEN GET PAYSTUBS! THE ACCOUNTANT SHOULD KNOW EVERYTHING, ESPECIALLY SINCE HE IS A TAX PREPARER HIMSELF. I DON'T KNOW IF HE'S TRYING TO STIFF ME OR WHAT SINCE I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT TAXES. 2007 TAX, HE PUT IT OFF FOR SO LONG HE FINALLY GAVE ME MY PAPERS THE WEEK TAX WAS DUE AND I ENDED UP HAVING TO FILE WITH HIM THE DAY OF AND HAVE MY BROTHER PICK IT UP AND DROP IT OFF AT THE POST OFFICE. MY MOST SCARIEST MOMENT, ESPECIALLY SINCE IT WAS MY VERY FIRST TIME FILING TAXES.
SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME! *SD562
