Form 1099-MISC is miscellaneous income. The Payer (person or business giving you a Form 1099-MISC) considers you as self-employed, not an employee. They're required to file a 1099-MISC form whenever they pay at least $600.00 for services, rents, etc. If you've been paid less than $600.00 and the Payer isn't filing a 1099-MISC form, you still are required to report that income. Not receiving income forms such as 1099-MISCs or W-2s (Wage and Tax Statement) doesn't mean that you don't have to report the income.

I am a freelancer and wonder at what dollar amount an employer needs to withhold for taxes and social security?

An employer withholds 7.65% and contributes 7.65%. As a free-lancer, you are probably not an employee but rather a contractor. You, therefore, must pay self-employment tax, which is 15.30% (7.65% X 2).

How much must I earn or pay out before a w-2 federal income tax form is required?

There is no lower limit. You pay from dollar one. And just to clarify - the employer does NOT pay federal income tax on pay to an employee. He "withholds" income tax from the amount of pay he gives the employee (that is an estimate of what will be paid by the employee at tax filing according to the W-4 provided by the employee), and sends that to the IRS. Other than the cost of doing so, it costs the employer nothing. In fact, the entire reported payroll for the employee is probably the most acceptable tax deduction for the employer that there is! There may well be other payroll taxes or fee's - like FICA or unemployment, etc that he employer does pay out of his own funds.

Do you have to pay workers comp if you pay for your employees medical insurance?

Certainly. Med insurance EXCLUDES paying for workplace injuries. Offering WC means that employees can never sue for injuries, claiming employer neglignece. No million dollar settlements. Further, they are really two separate coverages and are treated differently. While medical insurance is not currently required, many states require that an employer having a given number of employees or a payroll that exceeds a given amount, maintain workers compensation coverage. In generally, workers compensation coverage provides benefits for the injured employee (medical expenses and a percentage of average lost wages). There are some circumstances under which the worker may not collect, but by and large, the workers compensation system exists to protect the employee. It also protects the employer because, if the employer has complied with the law by providing workers compensation coverage as required, the employee may generally not file suit against the employer or a co-employee for damages for a workplace injury.

Can you sue an employer for employment misclassification?

Yes, it is possible to sue an employer for employment misclassification. If an employer wrongly classifies an employee as an independent contractor or misclassifies an employee as exempt from overtime pay, the employee may have legal grounds to file a lawsuit seeking unpaid wages, benefits, and other damages. It is advisable to consult with an employment attorney to understand the specific laws and requirements in your jurisdiction.

Can a Virginia employeer raise insurance costs for some employees but not others?

Some insurance policies can discriminate by class of employee although they are very few. Sometimes what may look like an increase for some and not others is a function of the funding policy of the company and not discrimination. Let's say an employer moves to a flat dollar amount per employee. The remaining cost being shifted to the employee will vary by age in many cases among many possible factors.
