Does Your Company Withhold State Tax? - NCalMT
Posted: Feb 12, 2010
I have been in the interview process with a national and was informed state tax would not be withheld. In that case, they would also not be paying into unemployment in my state. I am trying to protect myself in the event I need unemployment for lack of work or lay offs in the future and this was a real let down to me regarding this company. Is this how most nationals work?
Any national I have worked for - tired
[ In Reply To ..]has withheld state tax as long as I was an employee and not IC.
Statutory employee status - Happy MT Robin
[ In Reply To ..]It sounds like they're referring to statutory employee status instead of full employee status. It falls somewhere in between full employee and IC.
From the IRS website:
http://www.irs.gov/charities/article/0,,id=131138,00.html
Who Is a Statutory Employee?
A home worker performing work on material or goods furnished by the employer. An employer should indicate on the worker's Form W-2 whether the worker is classified as a statutory employee. Statutory employees report their wages, income, and allowable expenses on Schedule C (or Schedule C-EZ), Form 1040. Statutory employees are not liable for self-employment tax because their employers must treat them as employees for social security tax purposes.
I've never been SE status, but from what I udnerstand, the company pays FICA, but you're on your own for paying the federal and state withholding taxes, and you dont' quality for unemployment.
And to answer your original question, no not all nationals are like that.

[ In Reply To ..]Thank you for your responses. I should have mentioned originally that the position is for employee status. Guess I'll just keep looking for a national that holds out state tax.

It provides health insurance, medical, dental, and vision, but no state taxes. Will that affect social security? Anyone know the process and percentage to withhold, how ...
