Thank you guys!
@Hal_Al Do I understand it correctly: the only way to pay social security tax and medicare tax is to file as self-employment in schedule C? Do they need to have a company in order to file as self-employment or individual is fine? Are there any tax forms (like W-2) needed to file as self-employment?
Is there a way to pay SS tax and Medicare tax, if they file as "other income without W-2"?
May I ask - why do they want to pay SS and Medicare tax if not required?
No, other than self-employed, there is no other way to pay to pay SS and Medicare tax if not withheld by an employer. Self-employed *is* a business, even if its only a babysitting business.
