What jobs deduct money out of your paycheck for income taxes?

Answer 1

All employers are required by law to withhold many taxes (and pay some others for) an employee. Any employer who arranges with you not to, (commonly called paying you under the table), actually doesn't change your obligation to pay tax on your earnings. But, probably saves himself money at the cost of those benefits HE would have had to pay for you....like being able to ever collect unemployment or any disability or loss for injuries you may incur. Common sense should tell you an employer that will lie and cheat to hide a small amount of money from the authorities..isn't going to have any second thoughts about doing the same to you (or your customers)...or being cheap on things that may effect your safety...etc.

To be paid without any employer tax withholding obligations you must be an "Independent Contractor", which differs from an employee in many ways....basically how work is dictated and that the boss really can't be "the boss" - since your independent....which as I guess is all he would have to give up to not have to be a liar, thief and cheat - as above - ...it is again a good indication of what your dealing with.
By the way...if he had half a brain as a business man, don't you think he'd want to show as high a payroll as possible for the IRS? Generally, all payroll costs are expenses that are deductible without question..so he has a great tax deduction! Payroll, which your supposed to report to them - is easily audited and accepted. The nitwits that pay under the table make themselves liable for a criminal act, show they are disreputable in business dealings and do that to...many times....become a tax cheat and pay MORE than they should. (Or do you think that the actual payroll costs will magically appear when he needs them...because that isn't easily audited by comparing it to what was reported?)
