Get your taxes done using TurboTax

It's not unusual.  The SS-8 is a form the IRS uses to determine whether you are an employee or self employed.  It is completed and mailed separately from your tax return You should fill it out and send it in for an actual determination.

 

Three things will happen when you complete the Form 8919:

  1. You will be charged only the employee share of social security and medicare taxes.
  2. The IRS will go after the company for the other half employer share of the taxes
  3. The IRS will make a determination considering both the 8919 and the SS-8.
