Retirement tax questions

Will you be getting a W2 at the end of the year or a 1099NEC?  Better ask them.   Are they taking out Social Security and Medicare taxes but no income taxes?  For W2 income,  If you work 2 hrs  a day  for 5 days a week that's only 10 hrs a week x 4 weeks is 40 hours x $20 is only $800.  That is below the taxable amount so you shouldn't owe any tax on it.  Will you have any other income?    If you want to have some withholding taxes taken out you can give your employer a new W4 form.  But  you won't be making enough to have any taxes taken out.  You could put down a set amount Like $20 or more so you will get back a refund when you file your tax return.  

 

If they pay you as an independent contractor and give you a 1099NEC that is self employment income and you will owe self employment tax 15.3% on it.   You will need to send in quarterly estimated tax payments to cover the SE tax.   So figure  20% for federal and state taxes.
