I’ve been working for them for nearly a year now in various different capacities pretty much learning new positions and filling in wherever they need. They only have one other full time employee who is certainly capable of a lot but definitely doesn’t pull the same weight. I’ll admit I may not have been as on top of knowing what’s going on as I should have but I’m young and haven’t ever had one job this long nor made enough money to ever need to file taxes before so I’m at a bit of a loss trying to figure out what to do. There was mention of some numbered tax form (1080-something? I don’t know) but it was mentioned so off handedly I didn’t realize that may have been him telling me I needed to figure that shit out.
From my little bit of reading so far, if I were to file as an independent contractor I believe I would have had to pay taxes multiple times this last year already – but haven’t.
I’ve yet to have a real conversation with him about it and I’m not really sure what to say, how to address things, and what sort of information I need to gather. Any insight anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated
