Question relating my payroll taxes

Jennifer said...


Questions Regarding Payroll Taxes:



My employer refuses to be out-of- pocket his portion of payroll taxes (social, med, and modified business tax); thus, he deducts his portion of payroll taxes from my gross. Is this legal? And if so, can I 1099 him for receiving the income?

Thanks!

Dear Jennifer, thank you for posting your question on our blog. We would recommend that you visit this page first to identify whether you qualify as an employee

If you qualify as an employee then, your employer is required to contribute to the payroll taxes out of his pocket and may not deduct it from your paycheck.

We hope this answers your concerns.

Good luck in resolving issues with your employer.
