Default IS MY EMPLOYER EVADING TAXES VIA ME?

OK..... So I work for a company. I started a year ago or so and I worked as a contracted employee. I was given hand written checks as pay and I was "self employed" and paid my tax at the end of the year.

THEN I became "salary" Now he's kindly avoided giving me a copy of my tax paperwork etc. Which we have a language barrier etc., hes a strange guy in some ways but whatever.

Now I get paid on hand written checks the last 6 months or so and I wonder to myself "could he not be telling the IRS I'm an employee that is contracted still and just "loose" my W-2 and at the end of the year I'll owe money?" He'll claim that I agreed to pay the rest?

Yet I filled out a W-2 and I-9 and I filed married and independent (2).

Isn't the company liable to pay back taxes if the IRS says I haven't paid any (because he didn't file as he should have for me)?

I have NO PAY STUBS as it's a hand written check.

is there any website where I can check to make sure he's taking money out for taxes prior to giving me the check?

Think you need to talk to your boss or the accountant since it sounds like a smaller operation. If you file quarterly then you seriously need to get on this.

Check w/ the Social Security Administration to see if he's paying SS taxes - both your share and his. Everything sounds a bit shady - any employer s/b able to bridge your gross and net pay w/ itemized deductions.

I work for a company too!

Talk to your accountant or ask him for your YTD pay records
