Answer: It’s code for a lousy situation.

The company is going to treat you as an employee (paid by the hour), but tell the state and IRS that you are a contractor. They will not pay insurance or worker’s comp (you must buy your own), they will not pay unemployment tax (you won’t be able to file for unemployment), they will not withhold fica/mc (you have to pay your own) and they certainly won’t withhold for income tax. If you fail to withhold 30% for taxes, you will end up paying the bill to the IRS for years to come.

They are hoping you will be a single member s-corp so they won’t have to report the money they paid you to the IRS on a form 1099-Misc, but if they have to they will.

Question: Should I consult with the IRS in this matter?

I have not filed taxes in 3 years and all of my W2’s are lost. I was wondering if anyone knows if the IRS would help me sort this mess out and get back on track if I were to just walk into their office and explain my situation.
I have also claimed EXEMPT in a few of the jobs i had the past 3 years even though I probably do not meet the criteria, just need extra $$$ and was young and DUMB!!! I do want to fix this all and make it right though.
Last i knew about a year ago, i only owed $ 700.00.
I make less than $18,000 a year and I am not a student or anything, just work.

Answer: You can Contact IRS and request an information returns transcript that contains your W-2 information and use that to prepare returns.
