What kind of employee - longtimemt


Posted: Aug 12, 2013

I started a job and was told I was an employee but they hold out no state or federal taxes - am I really an employee or is that statutory?

employee - anon

[ In Reply To ..]
If they hold out FICA (soc sec and medicare), then you're statutory. If they hold out nothing, you're an IC and you're going to have to pay your portion and the portion your employer would have taken out.

Oct 10, 2013

Feb 03, 2012

I've been perusing laptops on Amazon.  Never had one before, so don't know that much about them.  If you were going to use one for one week out of each month to transcribe on, which one would you buy?  Or, if you already use one, what kind did you buy and why?  How many USB ports does it have?  How much memory?  Screen size?   Headphone jack?  Sound quality?   How long do you work on it per day?   Pros & cons?  ...
