i am a broke college student who shovels horse shit for a living. i got my taxes done today and my employer claimed me as a buisness instead of an employee so they dont have to take taxes out on me if that makes any sense. so instead of paying 7.5% i get to pay 15% which in then totals to be over $900. i only have $1200 to my name and i have a $300+ car insurance bill and a $60 phone bill. i will be officially broke with not a penny to my name. i will be quitting my job because i can't afford to pay $900 a year in social security. if i don't get fired first for bitching my boss out. broke college students arent supposed to be paying any taxes! this just makes me so stressed and angry and worried. i dont have any money. this would be something i would use over but i wont. i cant. i made it this far. i went to school. i got a job. if i ruin that i will die.

IF you are required to be on the job at specified times etc. rather than you set your hours your "employer" cannot legally treat you as a contractor, ie a business. That is but one of the requirements to not being considered an employee. There are a number of them. Check with your state department of labor and industries and the IRS.
I am not a lawyer, have been around the block a number of times, and I am an employer and am fairly famililar with labor laws.
For the record I can't wait to get back up to just being broke! It's been a hell of a struggle keeping my business location doors open during this long recession and have way too much business debt, past due bills, late on rents, but employee payrolls always made... yeah getting to just broke will be a great place to be.
30 years Clean and my finances are far worse in some respects than day one Clean. Oh sure on paper I'm worth about a Mil, but I haven't been able to pay myself a dime in over 2 years, house likely to go into foreclosure. No biggy. The worm will turn. Do what I can do and leave the rest up to HP.

Hey Liz. Gotta hand it to you girl, you have the best rants on this message board! you really know how to vent. Actually this is toned down from some of your past tirades....but I love hearing from you all the same. I remember being a broke ass college student....Y'know what? You'll manage, and look back on these days as the happiest days of your life.
haha im glad you like my rants. this one was probably the least agressive one ever. if i dont rant and rave i will really go nuts. how can i be happy if i have to worry about paying bills with the money i dont have? i like being secure. knowing that i have money. that i wont be poor that i wont have to worry about living on the streets again that i wont loose my car that i wont lose my phone and lose all my contacts to people from here and there and i dont want to have that feeling again. i dont want to have to steal things that i cant afford. i hate that feeling. so im worrying. im stressing out.

Did you fill out a 1040 and put yourself down as exempt ? do you have a city tax license because if your self employed you need one, otherwise your doing business illegally LOL
they call it 1099 here I have a few people i've worked for who do that but we have it understood before hand thats how things will run because I add $$ to my cost of doing business when thats the case.
Make arrangements with IRS to make payments do not give them every penny you have give them $10.00 a month tell them thats all you can afford....

Your thinkin right girl, keep those ideas there all good and make them goals, maybe you should be shoveling shit but make it your business and hire other people to do it then hire them out to ranchs. Find a nitch some where, places people are spending money to find a way to service there needs, then do it well, shovel shit well and you'll get referrals to shovel more shit from other people, LOL life is a shoveling of shit constantly, other peoples shit but you can make money doin it...
