Hi Catina,
Thank you for your response. My husband has an auto repair shop and I am the office manager. I do all the bookkeeping, financial and administrative work. It is part time, and I have not taken any compensation in 8 years because I had other part time jobs as well. But now I don't and I am concerned about continuing to build my social security earnings.
I think I would be classified as either a contractor or it could be a qualified joint venture. To be an "employee" sounds like a lot of extra work and extra taxes.
