Intelligence does not live anywhere. It needs to be tested, applied, challenged and engaged. Why don't you get started on that now...

-Add him as an authorized user' to one of your CCS. (preferably one with high CL and low utilization)

-Student CC such as citi or BofA

-secured credit card such as National City or Bofa, etc.

-Credit Union CC if he banks with a credit union

Thank you Socalfiremedic & tolamapS You got what I was saying. The other imps have nothing better to do then flap their virtual lips! Oh, but I LOVED the Hooters post (I agree) I pretty much knew what the plan would be, but wanted a few opinions.

Anyway, you better get busy with his credit if you want to screw him even more in the future.Actually, I think the full risk is borne by the OP in this instance. It's not like the IRS is going to come after stepson for back payroll taxes when they find out.

The only risk I can think of for stepson is if he has some type of self-employed retirement account. If he gets reclassified as an employee, he's going to be in a world of hurt if he's got a self-employed retirement account since he wasn't really self-employed and did not qualify for one of those accounts.

delzy said:Also, he's being cheated of his unemployment and workmen's comp insurances as well as .5 of his self-employment tax.... greedy step-mother couldn't care less, I'm sure.

First of all our business is very legit, some us pay our taxes quarterly nimrod...I am not going to stoop to your level and argue with you. I will just say that you are grossly misjudging the situation, but who are you anyway...you don't know me, and I CERTAINLY wouldn't want to know you!

That's your loss, but certainly you are not arguing it is legal to keep a "1099 employee" as you call it. You should bone up on the labor laws you are breaking so you can at least strive to become a legitimate business.

Paying quarterly is what owners and contractors do, not employees. By your own admission, your business is illegitimate, you big know-it-all!
