I just received a 1099 and have to pay back but I am not an independent contractor she treated me as an employee controlled my hours and gave me daily task.
Thanks for commenting, Bella! If your hours and day-to-day tasks are set by the company, then there's a good chance you should've been classified as an employee, not a contractor. Please call if you'd like to discuss this further 216-285-9991.
I am a dental hygienist (have worked as a hygienist for 18 years and 29 years total in the dental industry). I can tell you first hand there are many, many dentists who intentionally misclassify temporary workers to avoid their 7.5% share of FICA taxes. Then, working as a FT employee, I have had them change time cards in the computer to avoid paying over time. The problem is they think since they own the company they don’t really have to obey department of labor laws or tax laws. Then they’ll come to work and brag to all the patients about their lake homes and expensive vacations. Most of them are crooks when it comes to their employees. They have intentionally kept hygienists at part time for decades to keep from paying them any kind of PTO, health insurance or sick leave. They also rarely give raises, but their prices definitely keep up with inflation.
Thanks for the comment! As I stated in this video, that practice is very rampant in certain industries as an illegal cost-cutting measure. Each case is different, but a dental practice would be very hard-pressed to appropriately and legally defend labeling a hygienist an independent contractor. Please feel free to contact me on the phone at (216) 285-9991, or via email at scott@tittlelawfirm.com if you'd like to discuss this further.
@@tittleperlmuter Thanks for your reply. Now that I know what the laws are, I am never I’m going to let that happen again. But it took a long time for us to figure out as a group (us new hygienists fresh out of school) what was happening to us. I believe the dentists were counting on it. But now going forward, I don’t think many dentists are trying that hard to get away with it like before. The cat is out of the bag. I also spoke up about the altering of the time cards as violation of DOL laws, and that hasn’t happened again, but I keep a close watch on my time card.
hello good night, ten years ago two persons and I started a sue against our company for misclassifying independent contractors and treated as employees, we won the sue but after that he started calling the whole drivers since 2006 to 2023 212 drivers responded, the question how we should be paid since we work for 5 years while some drivers work for months. i thank you in advance?
Hey bud, thanks for the video!
My employer gave me a 1099 and I am clearly a salary employee. Even have proof in email that they have put us all on 1099 to "save on their taxes to grow the company".
I don't believe I should have to pay all of this back when I have no expenses to claim.. e.g. haven't bought any tools, insurance, materials ect.
It's seems very sketchy on their part. They're a new LLC.
I am aware of the 8919 form but I am wondering if you can tell me; do I have to send 8919 in before I file, and how do I receive the form. Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks for your comment! Using the company's tools, insurance, and materials all strongly indicate that you're an employee, not a contractor. Give me a call if you'd like to discuss 216-285-9991.
From an employee's perspective, when doing your taxes, do you pay more taxes for being misclassified?
Yes. Part of your income taxes go to fund Social Security, Medicare, and unemployment. Companies are required to split 50-50 with their employee's income taxes for Social Security, Medicare, and unemployment. However, if you are classified and paid as an independent contractor instead of an employee, you pay "self-employment taxes," which are essentially equivalent to the share of Social Security, Medicare, and unemployment that the company would have to bear if you were an employee.
Yes take it from someone that has 3 kids only makes little over 40k and does not get a refund now. If your 1099 and cannot claim a bunch of write offs or deductions you are 1000% fkd. You get Taxed horribly and to many companies are ok with that.... along with congress... they know but they wont change the policy bc its mostly construction industry where workers are hurt by this and most ppl in c9nstruction have certain political leanings they do not like.... litteraly i was good on my taxes till about 2 years ago then idk what changed in the policy but it fkd us completely.... i mean bad really really bad. Not only do i have to pay for medicaid and ss all myself but i also havent been paid any overtime for the 1000s of overtime hrs ive had in just past 3-4 years.. i mean minimal 10 hrs a week, more like 15 prbly. Then i must also pay own workers comp coverage or risk it and just provide a waiver which is what i have to do bc i cannot afford the coverage.... its fkd up... financial Death by a thousand cuts.
