W-2 form, also called annual salary summary form

         What is the difference between W2 and 1099? Employees who fill in W2 include full-time, part-time or short-term employees. The company will deduct tax every time you pay your salary. For example, each employee needs to deduct 7.65% of the total payroll social security tax. At the same time, the employer will pay another 7.65% of the social security tax for you. The employees who fill in form 1099 are independent contractors. If the salesperson takes the Commission as the main income, his income does not need to be deducted every month, but he needs to pay the full social security tax of 15.3% of the total income when filing the annual tax return. More common independent workers include real estate agents, house decorators, taxi drivers and advertising sales personnel. The fundamental difference between form W-2 and form 1099 is whether the employer has the right to control how it to be done. Generally, the employer can decide whether the employee to be employed is an employee or an independent worker, but it must be reviewed. Once it is found that the employer misclassify the W-2 employee into 1099 independent workers, the employer will face a large fine What are the advantages of W2 and 1099? The advantage of W2 is that the employer pays half of your social security fund, and you only need to pay half. The advantage of 1099 is that the expenses directly related to the work can be taxed. For example, transportation expenses, publicity materials, office supplies for work, and even meals for entertaining customers can also be taxed. When filling out form 1099, you must pay attention that the tax credit part must be consistent with the income, and the expenses must be directly related to the work. For expenses used for tax deduction, receipts must be kept. Although the accountant does not require the taxpayer to produce receipts, once the IRS audits the accounts, the taxpayer is required to submit certificates such as receipts, which need to be retained for three years. How to select W2 or 1099 form? From the perspective of employees, some people are willing to be employees and enjoy the benefits provided by the company. Others want to have worked independently because they can enjoy the tax benefits that employment can't enjoy. For example, they can use different business expenses to offset tax, may not need to buy health insurance, can use many business expenses to offset tax, and can put more income into their retirement plan. For small companies, hiring independent workers can save tax because they don't have to take full responsibility for the employee. If you classify employees as independent workers, you should sign a special contract. It must be clear that this contract can reduce your risk. In addition, you need to know the conditions of independent workers. Difference between W-4 and W-2 W-4 is your personal information.
