My boss sent me a 1099, but I have pay stubs that say I paid taxes. Did he pay taxes? What should I do?

I worked as a secretary for a franchise owner for about 2 months. He paid me in cash, but took out taxes. I have pay stubs from every week saying he took out taxes. Today I got a 1099 in the mail from him with an income about $1,000 lower than what I actually made.

I was not sub-contract or freelance. I worked a regular schedule, 40 hours a week. I was paid an hourly rate.

I insisted he pay me in cash because the checks he did write bounced. I eventually had to leave the job because…

Can I sue a client for a verbal agreement?

I’m a freelance web designer. In November 2008, I designed a site for a club team at my college and the coach promised I would receive all of my “work-study” money in exchange for doing the site at that time. I would start receiving my work-study payments in January when the new semester starts and it would total out to be about $1250.
So I did the site in November last year. When the new semester rolled around, I was suddenly ineligible to receive work-study money. I went to the coach and asked them what can we do, and…

I want to quit my job and do freelance work…?

It’s time to start my own business. I have a salaried full-time job at a TV station in marketing, as a sales/research coordinator, where I’ve worked for 4 years. There’s a high turnover rate in our department (due to the department head, who’s a combo of the boss from the movie “Office Space” and the pointy-haired boss in the Dilbert comics).

I have a B.A. in Communications, and I’m a thesis away from an M.A. in Communications, with an English/Literature Minor. I have 15 years of experience in Media, working in every form–print (as a reporter/photographer), media research, presentation &…

Print & Publication design: What should they pay me, freelance vs part time position?

I was offered a job last week and need to determine a fair salary. Originally the job was a freelance position offering 30 hours a week in print design work (paid on an hourly rate). The person who had this job was responsible for the design and layout of a 16 page magazine, light ad sales, and other design work such as brochures. I do not know how much this person was paid, but I do know he had the time to take other freelance jobs on the side with other businesses.

This job was transformed into a part time…

Is there a simple way to figure out self-employed income taxes?

I need to find a SIMPLE way to figure out taxes if I am self-employeed. For federal, state & SSI. Is it too much to ask to find a place that just gives you the formula’s and definations for all three? I know my local tax is a flat rate % so I’m not concerned about that. I got more confussed than ever when I “googled” self employment. Thanks for whatever help you can give. All I want to do is babysit for a friend & do some freelance writing so I need to a program for my taxes.

I am in the process of negotiating rates to write content articles. What is a good rate to charge?

Its a Veterinarian office in California. Extensive research, using keywords, wants to sell products, they would keep all rights. Background is in writing and I’ve written many other content articles successfully. Before I was a freelance contractor and this time I was offered the position of a full time writer.

Is this a broken email contract- should I sue?

I am a graphic designer. I responded to an emailed freelance opportunity involving t-shirt designs. I usually send contracts but I didn’t this time (stupid). This is what he wrote in his first email:

“At this point we are paying forty an hour rate for art time with the one designer. If you would like to submit some designs and we like them we would be more then welcome to pay you for your time. If you would be interested in helping us let me know….”

I responded and he asked for certain specs, then I finished two designs (only…
