Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Impostor!

What have you done with the real Scola?

But can I report self-employment income from the same employer for whom I'm a full-time salaried employee? That doesn't seem possible. Don't you have to be one or the other, in terms of who pays you?

I don't think so, but the more important question is, if you do it that way, don't you have to pay all the taxes on the income (income tax as well as you and your employers share of SS)? That represents a huge chunk of the amount. Plus, if your employer is not reporting it as a bonus, I wouldn't, but I would try my darndest to get him to account for it that way because self-employment forms are a pain. I would even accept a smaller amount to account for his share of SS security to avoid that paperwork.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Hey, while I have Steph, do you agree with my father that there is no way to get one's children adequately schooled in the Cincinnati public school system? He insists it's private/parochial, suburbs, or death.

Bah. One of the best high schools in the city --and generally ALSO very highly *nationally* ranked -- is a public high school (Walnut Hills). There's also a public Montessouri high school, which is a very good school if you dig Montessouri.

And then there are a lot of public magnet schools that have alternative structures: Paideia, etc.

It takes some work to figure out what public school is worth sending your kidlets to (because, yes, I have friends who have taught in some Cincinnati public schools, and they have horror stories about pregnant 13-year-olds who can't read, students knifing each other IN CLASS, etc. t edit but those are inner-city schools -- actual City of Cincinnati limits are geographically HUGE, so there are a lot more public schools in locations that eyou might not think are still within city limits), but private/parochial/suburbs aren't the only good schools.

Uh, I'm pretty sure they aren't reporting it as *anything.* Even our end-of-year bonuses aren't included on our W-2s.

Like I said, shifty.

I have cinnamon apple tea. It's oddly like pastry in tea form. I think I'll go back to mint next time.

People with this attitude drive me crazy. It's rampant in NYC and, as someone who has taught plenty of people coming out of NYC public high schools, it's bullsh*t. But as Steph says, you have to do your homework wherever you are.

I'm with Rick- I work as a freelancer in the theatre department, but my appointment is in another department. It is categorized as "extra compensation" and reported on my W-2. On of the "rules" we have hear is that it can't be just more of your regular work, though. That is, if you are a secretary, you can't get extra comp for being a secretary in another department.

Uh, yeah. Definitely NOT reported on my W-2. When Big!Boss proposed the idea, his wife (who takes care of all the [shifty] accounting) told us, "You'll need to take care of the taxes yourselves." But they don't issue 1099s for it. Ever.

On of the "rules" we have hear is that it can't be just more of your regular work, though. That is, if you are a secretary, you can't get extra comp for being a secretary in another department.

And well, it's *exactly* more of my regular work.

Fuckity. I just don't want the IRS to nail me for tax evasion.
