This is really confusing. I had to come out of pocket for a place to live while working in another state, food to eat. Then wait two weeks for the employer to pay me my per diem and then W2 me on my per diem and hourly. Then only take out less than ten percent in taxes from my check. Now I owe taxes on nontaxable money I had to use to live and eat just to work. So due to congress changing the tax laws In 2017, I can’t write anything off due to being a W2 employee. Does this now make me self employed. I don’t understand.
