[quote=Anonymous]Ok OP, you should know that by law the employer bears responsibility for taxes - even if your contract says the employee will pay them. The employer is ALWAYS liable for unpaid employee taxes, the IRS even advises against employers relying on employees to pay the taxes because of this. Also, you can not contract to engage in illegal activity. If I contracted to pay someone to steal, for example, that thief could not take me to court for unpaid fees. Similarly, your employer can not take you to court to enforce an agreement to pay you off books. But, more then anything, none of it matters because the law will not honor forced employment - it touches a bit too closely on the issue of slavery, even though you consented in this case. At most, a court would bar you from competing with your employer or sharing confidential information.

I suggest you lick your wounds and try not to make a bad situation any worse. Plus, get on a trustworthy website and learn how to draft a decent contract. Why would you ever have agreed to be responsible for all taxes if you thought that agreement was actually enforceable???[/quote]
