How would I file taxes if I was off the books for half the year and on the books for the 2nd.?
I work as a nanny and I spent 6 months getting paid by a personal check from my client/employer and so I considered myself an independent contractor. But then things changed and now I am officially an employee and am on payroll and get taxes taken out. I was told by my employer he was going to backdate to payments to when I first started working but on my pay stubs it only indicates my current earnings and deductions. So my question is how am I filing taxes. Will I be combining my income for the year and proceeding like it was all on the W2 form? Or will I be filing to separate forms? This is my first time as an independent contractor so I hope I am making sense because I am confused !
He did tell me he would pay his part of the taxes even though he paid me in full because it was his responsibility to put me on the books and failed to do so. But I'm not seeing this on my current statement. When I recieve my W2 in January maybe that will have the corrected amounts? He has an accountant that handles all of this and she is the one that pushed him to get on the ball and put me on the books. He is aware that he would have needed to pay a portion of my taxes the 1st 6 months and he did tell me he would pay for whatever amounts is owed..if he does this then would I just fill out a 1040?
