This is such crap. I'm getting by by the skin of my teeth and I owe this much…. I would have never agreed to be a 1099 (non)employee if I knew this was the case.
My employer said it would be easier to file their taxes this way because I was one of only 2 employees. What a sick joke. Guess I'll be calling the irs to set up a payment plan so I can continue to live in poverty
