This is not something either gets to agree to...it is the law, taken very, very seriously and if your an emplyer you must withhold tax (and contribute o FICA and in most cases State programs too, on your behalf) on your employees exactly as specified...no option...not doing so is criminal and there is no Corporate protection...the officers of the Co are personally liable. Don't mess around for another second...contact the IRS and your States Labor Department. http://www.irs.gov/localcontacts/index.html
Yes. Form W-4 (Employee's Withholding Allowance Certificate) gives the information that your employer needs to calculate the correct amount of taxes (income, Medicare, Social Security) to withhold from your earnings. If you don't fill out a W-4 form, then the IRS requires your employer to withhold taxes at the highest rate, which is Single with no dependent allowances.
If you are the employer and the babysitter is your employee yes you would be required to withhold all of the necessary taxes and report the amounts that are withheld to the IRS as required and issue a W-2 form to your employee at the end of the year. If the babysitter is self employed taxpayer NO then the baby sitter will be responsible for all of the required self employment taxes and income taxes on the net profit from the business operation.
If your employer withholds taxes from your paycheck and does not pay them to the IRS, it is not you problem, nor should you worry in the least. The IRS will give you credit for any amount withheld from your paycheck whether or not they ever recover the amount from your employer. All you need to do is file your tax return as you usually do.If your employer did not withhold taxes or if it did not withhold enough taxes, then you may have a problem with not having enough taxes withheld. Generally, individuals who have this problem come in two categories.The first are those who are considered self-employed or independent contractors for tax purposes. Certain sales representatives and others who perform services for companies do so with the understanding that the employee is a a so-called "1099 contractor." As such, the employee must pay taxes as if he or she owned his own business. If you fall in this category, you need to consult an accountant or the person who prepares your tax returns.The second way enough taxes are not withheld is when the employee prepares his or her IRS Form W-4. This is a form your employer had you complete when you were first hired. You may have changed the form since employment in order to have more or less taxes withheld from your paycheck.If your problem is with not having enough taxes withheld, you should consult your employer's human resources department or you supervisor. You can also obtain assistance from the person who prepares your tax returns, or you can visit your local IRS office. They can assist you in updating your W-4 so that you have the correct amount of taxes withheld. Be certain to take your check stubs so they can see how much taxes you have had withheld for the year. The person who prepares your return or the IRS can help you determine whether you should be considered an independent contractor.See Sources and related links for information.
It is a US government form (issued by the IRS) used to select the level of withholding taxes that are to be withheld from income. An employer must have each employee complete a W-4 so that the proper amount of income tax can be withheld from their pay. A form required by the government to be filled out by new employees.
57000 gross income for the year your employer payroll department would be the only one that would know how they were required to withhold for all of the taxes and other amounts out of your 57000 gross amount for the year. Your employer payroll department should be able to help you determine the net take home pay that you would receive for the year.
If you are an employee (not an independent contractor receiving a 1099 instead of a W-2), it is an absolute requirement that taxes - all types - income, FICA, unemployment, etc., etc be handled by the employer.
