@Siglerslodge1970 And....remember.....if your son had been a W-2 employee, his employer would have withheld Social Security and Medicare from his paychecks. Your son would not have received a refund for the SS and Medicare withheld from his pay. He would only have been able to seek a refund for the federal tax withheld in box 2 or the state tax withheld in box 17. But he had NO tax, SS or Medicare withheld. That is why he had to pay SE tax. When you are self-employed you pay ALL of the SS and Medicare.
