'Heart Of Gold'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
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.
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.
If it weren’t for the slimy mucous that clings to and lines the walls of your
It is categorized as "extra compensation" and reported on my W-2.
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.

And well, it's *exactly* more of my regular work.
Fuckity. I just don't want the IRS to nail me for tax evasion.

Don't they have a form for "Income I was paid where my employer failed to give me a W-2 or 1099"?
In any event, as long as you do what the IRS says for this situation, it's not your problem.

Uh, I don't know WHAT the IRS says for this situation. Probably b/c it's so. fucking. shifty.

Apparently so. It looks like a pain in the ass, though. Among other things, you have to explain what you did to obtain a W-2.
Can you consult with an accountant? That might be your best bet here, in order to cover your own ass.
Tep, if you email me with all the details you've posted here I can forward it to my dad (who is a tax lawyer).

I believe the IRS generally frowns on under-the-table income, which is pretty clearly what they're trying to do. Seriously - they've put you in a really shitty situation by doing things this way.

Thanks, Jess! I'll put it all together and e-mail you shortly.

And if I report the income -- no matter how it's categorized -- won't it end up screwing THEM, b/c it'll make the IRS go "Wait a minute...."?
