What is the name of your state? PA
In 2007, I only worked one two-week short-term job at an office. I don't owe tax but the company issued me a 1099 rather than a W2. After looking at the classifications for self-employment, I realized, I didn't meet any of them. I worked in their office, with their equipment, on their schedule, doing tasks assigned by them. the only thing out of the ordinary was the fact that it was understood to be short-term.
But in going the 1099-misc route, they have pushed the entire medicare/ss tax burden onto me. Am I just stuck with this situation?
I can't really make any noise about it since it would jeopardize future employment and I have a relative employed there as well. But it seems to me they misclassified me.
Also, if I have only a 1099 with no deductions from the employer, is there any way I can just pay my employee med/ss tax rate (7.65%) and do I have to really fill out forms 1040 + schedule C + schedule se for my measly $1,800 income?
edit: single - no dependents - no risk of loss - very little other income (interest) - not a dependent.
Thanks,
I know - last minute, but I thought I was just going to shoot off a 1040-ez in 5 minutes. but noooo.
