I simply want to know if they are required to pay taxes on already taxed income? I work for a cleaning service part time and pay someone to help me from my own pocket but the money I received has already been taxed for federal, social security and Medicare. I understand that they are required to file for their income. My question is to decide if we need to have them paid directly from the company to avoid double taxes on that same income or are they safe from taxes considering it was already taxed.
