[QUOTE="pickup, post: 547793"] Plus they work off of a 1099, which means they have to pay both halves of the friend.I.C.A (social security) , where as a company employee pays (has it taken out of paycheck) and the employer the other half. the half is about 7 1/2 percent I believe. Also, I never met an Independent Contractor or as they like to call themselves Owner Operators , who drove tractor trailers, who didn't have a problem with the IRS years down the road. I met a few younger ones who don't yet but will. An Independent contractor is responsible for making his quarterly estimated tax payments and sometimes they mean to , and then the truck needs a new fuel pump, or the house needs a new furnace. Rob Peter to pay Paul and don't pay the government and make up some phony expenses to lower your taxable income. Years later, told by the irs, sorry your deduction of your supposed home office (which is actually the living room) doesn't qualify . Pay up what you owe plus interest and penalties. I wonder if the Independent contractors of Fed Ex have similar problems. [/QUOTE]
