I am preparing to do my taxes myself this year and I am quite confused about one thing....
Am I a independent contractor or an employee?
I have read documents about what it takes to be classified as an employee in this business and it certainly sounds like I am one.
I am not free to make my own schedule, I can not come and go as I please, and I pay no house fees except for 10% tip out to the bar...so why should I file as self-employed, which increases my tax burden?
I hardly have any deductions based on the housewife test and simply because I keep my expenses very low....so isnt the main benefit of filing a schedule C for the deductions?
If I was going to deduct anything it would be my tip-out...and I wouldnt even know how to go about doing that!
Someone help!
How do you file as an employee without a W-2??
Or did I just ask the dumbest question in the world!?!!![]()
