[quote=Anonymous]I currently work for a family that wanted to pay me legally but didn't really follow the proper protocol for having a household employee. Therefore, nothing was ever withheld from any of my paychecks.  They tried to 1099 me out of ignorance, I believe, but I put a stop to that quickly due to the advice ive seen on this bored. I figured I would have to pay income tax at the end of the year and so did they. After I researched a bit I let them know they should have been paying social security and Medicare throughout the year. They realized their mistakes and are trying to right their wrong with the IRS. They are going to pay for my half of those taxes. Here's where it get a little tricky for me .They are saying that I have to add the money they are paying for my taxes as my taxable income. Does this sound fair? Technically I didn't make that money and if they actually withheld that tax my taxable income would be lower. If anyone has some insight that would be great before I go talk with the IRS. Sorry I know this isn't a tax forum but I'm really hoping since you employers deal with this a lot you might have some input . Thanks![/quote]
