Need help understanding an SS8 with Miss guided on 1099 with employer

You have another thread that seems to be related to this one---which makes it harder to follow and understand.   Are you having some sort of confusion as to whether you are being treated as an employee or an independent contractor?   Is that what you mean by a scam?

1. Stick to one discussion thread.  Makes it easier to follow.

 

2. Give us some more details of your situation and any questions.  There are a number of people here who volunteer and can make suggestions, but we need to know more of the story.

 

In general, form SS-8 would be used if you are being paid on a 1099-NEC (which would be correct if you are an independent contractor), but you think you should be a regular employee, with withholding and a W-2.

 

But we need more to go on to help you.
