Add more information about how to avoid paying the employer portion of FICA taxes.

| Jan 24, 2017 at 3:08 | comment | added | John | Filing as 1099 I believe means that I will have to pay out of my pocket if I am not wrong. | |
| Jan 24, 2017 at 2:57 | comment | added | TTT | Yikes. That's unfortunate. I'd bet they did not withhold any taxes, so despite the contract specifying you were an employee, you should most likely file as if they sent you a 1099 for the exact amount they paid you. I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for anything from them. | |
| Jan 24, 2017 at 2:50 | comment | added | John | Thanks for your answer. The total amount for two months was more than $600. The offer letter says that I was a full-time employee of the company and the employer never gave me W4 or W9 form. It was a startup company without any physical office location where people were working from home.The employer agreed to pay X amount and because of financial loss in the company, he paid me one fourth of the promised amount. I am still waiting for the deferred payment. | |
