Employment--Contract labor VS Employee for tax purposes
I would like to know exactly what the criteria is for determing whether a person is contract labor or an employee as far as the IRS is concerned?? I worked for an individual managing his apt complex for almost 13 years and he always paid me contract labor--in which I was responsible for my own taxes--my mother has now worked for him for almost 15 years and has the same question--is he not responsible for part of our SS and medicare??

The IRS has a check list they use to determine whether one is contract labor or an employee. You need to get to a competent tax lawyer or tax accountant to review the facts and circumstances of your and your mother's engagement. Robert Forrester, Amarillo, TX
