I would like to say thank you to responses I recieved, some info has helped First of all, I really dont care about losing the job, its my second job, which I work part time (usually about 4 to 12 hours a week) I did think I was being paid "under the table" since I never signed anything at all when I started working there, no W4 or W9 and especially since I was getting paid cash every week. I know it was stupid on my part. When I got paid, I did sign a slip of paper saying a recieved the cash. So I think one step I need to take is for her to give me proof of how she came up with the amount she wrote on the 1099. She does have a weekly schedule that she makes up, which I am going to try to get a copy of. There are also a few pages in a notebook we have where she would write us notes telling us what to do and how to do it. After we work our shift we write on a calender how many hours we worked, so I am going to try to get copies of that, especially the week were I was getting not getting paid for training (on the calender she wrote training NP)I have researched online and found the what terms qualify a person as an employee vs an independent contractor, which I definitely fall under the employee catagory. I found online a form called SS-8 which I fill out and send to the IRS so they can determine if I am an employee or an independent contractor. Legally, I guess that would be a good route. Someone suggested I go to my boss and ask her to help pay a part of the taxes I would owe if I filed the 1099. I have worked there for a lil over a year now, it is a cash only bar. I know how she thinks and I know she does what she can to save herself some money. I mean I believe she refills her own alcohol which I dont know all the rules on that aspect, but it doesnt seem right. I keep going back and forth on what would be the right path for me to take. I suppose I should talk to someone that can look into things and lead me in the right direction, but I guess I dont really know where to start or who to call. Thank yo "OnTheRocks" for mentioning the Employment Development Department, I will look into that. I also know having copies of some things from the bar as "proof" will help me in some way, so if I do fight this, it wouldn't exactly be my word against hers. Thanks again!
