student
How much money should I set aside from my paycheck if taxes are not being taken out?
I am a full time student. I am single and live on my own, but my uncle owns the place and I do not have to pay rent. I got a new job being a nanny. I make $15 an hr, and I work about 11-16 hrs a week. My employers do not take out taxes, but they claim it on their taxes. My question is how much (%?) should I put aside since I will have to file (I believe a w-9). Do I have to pay TDI? I live in Rhode Island

As a nanny, you are a household employee and your employer is OBLIGATED to withhold Social Security and Medicare taxes if you earn over $1,500 per year. Based on your hourly rate and average hours worked, you would owe about $200 in income tax and $800 in Social Security and Medicare taxes. You should report your wages on IRS Form 8912 and pay the employee half of the tax then let IRS worry about how to deal with your employer.

It is around 25% in Minnesota at least

Are they recording what they pay you and claiming it as an expense on their taxes? If so then you may have to declare it - otherwise it may be possible not to (especially if you can get them to pay you cash).

If you will have to declare it then check out by how much your pay will exceed your personal tax deduction amount. You might have to pay no tax, or minimal tax..depending.

I would not tell anyone about not having to pay for your room & board or they might try to tax you on that as "income".

It depends on how much you make. Target: 30 to 35%

To be on the safe side, I'd hang onto 30%. You're not making a lot of money at the rate/hrs worked and probably won't need to pay that much but to avoid having to come up with cash next April, 30% should leave enough of a cushion

Pay attention. You are either an employee or you are not. The decision is *not* left up to the person who pays you.

If you work for one family only, at their home, following their schedule and their instructions, you are an employee. As such, they should have had you fill out a W-4 form and withheld income taxes accordingly. (It is possible for a household employer to pay the Fica/MC taxes themselves, but the W-2 will reflect this by ramping the income up to include the part paid by the employer.) At the end of the year, they owe you a W-2.

At 11 hours a week at $15, your pay was at least $165. If your W-4 showed single 0, 1 or 2, there should have been income taxes taken out.

*YOUR* employer apparently is planning to hand you a 1099-Misc and claim you were an independent contractor. He is passing the burden of paying all payroll taxes on to you. (For an 11 hour week, that's $23.) Since he is failing to withhold any income tax, putting enough money aside is another burden he's passing off. You also have no ability to file for unemployment.

No surprise though that he handed you a W-9 and/or a W-10 form to get your name, your address and your SSN...information he needs to claim what he's paid you as a child care expense on his tax return.

IRS publication 926.

You need to figure out your tax bracket first - then put asside that much to cover the taxes. you may wind up getting it back, if you don't make enough in a year to qualify for having to pay in - but that amount is very low.

Put aside about 30% and if you do not meet the minimum requirements for filing, the money is yours to keep and spend any way you like.

Look at putting aside 1/3 of your gross. Because you're a student and you probably don't make too much, you may qualify for an earned income credit as long as you annot be taken as a dependent on anyone else's return. Look at it this way, if you end up not paying, you'll have a nice little savings account.

In general, 23% or roound it off to 25. The FairTax Act is based on 23% and I questioned that.
SO... I took all my tax returns from 1985 on and put them on a sheet . Fed + SS+ medicare divided by gross averaged 23%
go figure !

Of course all this will be moot when the FairTax Act H.R. 25 passes and replaces all income taxes with a single sales tax on new items. The FairTax now has the support of hundreds of thousands, 72 congressional sponsors / co-sponsors, and 7 presidential candidates, and over 70 economists. See www.fairtax.org So tell your congressman to pass H.R. 25
