any company that pays 1099 and no ins

Speaking about deaf ears...

Human traffickinig and smuggling also pay waaaaayyyy better. People do it for that reason alone. Is it legal?

Get it now?

 

Did you recently get screwed over by a 1099 company?

 

BINGO! They make way better money due to zero taxes coming out. Until tax time.

Most people do not realize they only pay HALF of FICA when on W-2, with employer paying the other half. No idea why this is done except to prevent a tax riot or few. With 1099, the worker is 100% responsible. Unless actually an IC with full ability to deduct everything entitled...yeah...dude will feel raped.

 

No, sir! Why does that matter? It's CLEARLY illegal. It's well-known. I simply do not understand why the IRS doesn't apply those rules.

 

I'm beginning to think these people like it..

 

I have spoken to many and they have gotten bad tax advice (usually from their employer). They will be fine for a while, but once the IRS catches on to their write-offs, they are going to be in a world of hurt. They all seem to think they can write off everything: personal vehicle, household expenses, groceries for the truck, and all of their clothes while still deducting per-diem. They don't realize that the per diem itself knocks off all food expenses, they can only write-off up to 400 sq ft of their home's area and must divide that rent or mortgage appropriately relative to the overall space, if anyone else is on that cable bill or using utilities, the write-off is limited to only the amount being used (face it, a truck driver will use a minimal amount of any of the household resources as he's gone 90% of the time), the personal vehicle expenses are 100% no, and the cell plan can only be deducted for the first line's expense.

Yeah, they will hurt bad when the IRS comes calling to audit their expenses and hits them with back taxes, fines for the illegal write-offs, and penalties for late payments. That's when you hear them on the radio giving testimony to the service that negotiates down IRS debt.

 

It don't really matter per se. It just seems to upset ya so I was curious about where the heat comes from. Some places have tried to enforce it. I think the rest of the country will eventually follow suit, but a lot of those companies do what they need to do cover their rear ends, such as make their drivers start a corporation and open a business account. Besides, the IRS is not going to go after those owners. As long as they are getting paid, nothing else matters.

 

I don’t know about if it’s illegal.Why do you believe being classified as an independent contractor is illegal?I learned a long time ago not to listen to truck stop lawyers.The tax’s aren’t dodged there shifted to the independent contractor he pays them.Don’t know how illegal it is people have been doing it since I’ve been trucking for over 25 years a lot of small owner operators do this because they simply can’t afford the cost that go along with employees it’s not a matter of screwing someone.Some prefer to work on a 1099 where there is no taxes being taken out they have control of all the money and deal with there. own taxes.

 

If it keeps up the Feds will make the CA rule nationwide

 

I'm a little slow, or I missed something. What is the CA rule?
