Attention employers: We now require a valid DOT# for anyone wishing to post a driving position. If your job offer doesn't contain a DOT number, it will not get past moderation and will not appear in the forum. The other requirements in the sticky at the top of this section are still required as well. Thank you for understanding.

Who pays the full monthly to SSI?
YOU.
Who pays when the IRS busts him?
Both of you.
People that post here and say that they or others have done it for years can do so all they want. I am sure they have, but in 90% of the cases it is not legal.
I would almost be sure that it is not legal in there cases eather, but they can take that chance, no skin off my back.
They can claim all they want. Just go to the IRS site and honestly answer the questions for if you are an employee. If you are an employee then you cannot run under 1099. -
Key word "employee".
Just cause you got busted or ripped of by some moron who was literally trying to screw you, doesn't mean the rest of us are and don't know what we are doing.
I'm also 100% sure its legal as long as your not trying to make an "employee" and independent contractor. -
When the IRS determines that the contractor is an employee, the back taxes you are referring to, become the responsibility of the the employer, not the employee.
-
So as an contractor the owner can tell you were to drive and when you can come home ? -
No. As an employee an owner can tell you what to do. As an I/C they can't but usually try to.latoya thurmond Thanks this.

did your dad lease on to companies and was forced to pay worksmens comp for the i/c or did they run under his authority ? -
He was leased to a company. The company required us to carry a form of workmens comp but it wasn't lested as such. I'd have to go ask him about it its been a while since he had it.
I live in ohio and the workmens comp is funny here. Being that I'm the owner and driver of my truck, I can't get workmens comp.latoya thurmond Thanks this. -
An I/C is just that, a contractor. As such there is no, repeat NO, employee relationship. Therefore, all business costs are yours, including work comp, or more appropriately for an I/C driving his own truck Occupational Accident, which is a whole lot cheaper than work comp if your state of domicile (the state the truck is plated in) allows it.latoya thurmond Thanks this.
