Ok ok, so since I'm getting paid cash and they are not withholding anything I am the one who should be giving them the w-4 form to do so to prevent me from having to pay so much later on ? What if I don't have a social ? I can file with an itin number correct ? And during tax time I would pay all of what they did not withhold during the year, right ?
Yes you can file with an ITIN. Yes, you would have to pay during tax time any federal taxes and SE taxes that should have been paid during the year based on your income and after your expenses and deductions.
If your employer is not treating you as an employee then they do not have to accept a W-4 from you for federal tax withholding.
See this IRS website for when you are considered an employee or an independent contractor - https://www.irs.gov/businesses/small-businesses-self-employed/independent-contractor-self-employed-o...
