The employee is calling it "contract labor" but after reading until my eyes won't focus on the letters...it seems that DH only fits the definition of an "employee" not subcontractor/contract labor/independent contractor....so I'm a bit confused...

The employer isn't paying taxes, how can he do that? I share in the confusion.

Oh man,

Are there any free tax help lines in your area? I would hate to call the IRS and open a big ol' can of worms on this one.

Can I be supportive and sympathetic that we have to do all this confusing figuring and paying?

Otherwise I'm not any help on this one.

I know that when I was a independent contractor (medical transcription), we just had much, much more withheld from my husband's check (IRS suggested this) and you can call them with questions (they answered ours).
