[quote=Anonymous]Call the IRS, they are surprisingly helpful. However--I think your employers are trying to take advantage of you here, maybe not intentionally, but what they're saying is incorrect. It is the EMPLOYER's responsibility to withhold taxes (FICA) from your paycheck. If they fail to do this then THEY HAVE TO PAY THEIR PORTION AS WELL AS YOURS! This is NOT taxable income, it is TAX! I speak from experience, we briefly had a nanny and couldn't figure out all the tax stuff (it really is very complicated) and so didn't withhold anything for the couple of months she worked for us. We were then stuck paying both our responsibility and hers. Prior to hiring someone long-term we made sure to do our homework and also gave her a written contract explaining all of this, and got a software program to help us ALL by printing out paystubs showing her income and tax that was withheld. Good luck, OP--I hope they will do right by you![/quote]
