This is a 1099 Job - You will be a self-employed contractor
|
I applied online, before reading all the complaints about this company. I did promptly get a response back from them, which stated: "all positions with 1NW Contact are Independent Contractor status, we do not deduct taxes from your checks, and you will receive a 1099 at the end of the year." For those of you not familiar with Federal tax regulations, this is technically SELF-EMPLOYMENT, without the benefits of it. And that means you will be subject to an additional self-employment tax on top on the regular taxes based on the income. If the $10 an hour is already marginal pay, then your tax liability is already higher. Furthermore, they won't be any tax deduction taken from your checks and you will be liable for these taxes in one lump sum on April 15 of each year. I don't have a state income tax where I live, but if you do live in such a state with a local income tax, that will add to the problem. Self-employment is only worthwhile if you get higher income for doing the same job as a regular employee working at a lower pay rate, and particularly if you can write off some expenses to your advantage. You might as well get a minimum wage job instead of this one.
