If you are a subcontractor, you pay the entire 15% yourself. Subcontracting does not eliminate or reduce any social security tax obligation. It only alters who pays it. Dave RickG wrote: If I understand correctly, social security tax is 15%. In an employment situation, an employee pays 7.5%

Re: [WISPA] legal entity type - was taxes

If I understand correctly, social security tax is 15%. In an employment situation, an employee pays 7.5% and the employer matches pays the other 7.5%. If you subcontract, you only pay 7.5% and the corp pays nothing. On Tue, Jun 8, 2010 at 11:27 PM, Scottie Arnett wrote: > The 7.5% comes back in o

Re: [WISPA] legal entity type - was taxes

Tom, Very good info - as always! I agree that being an employee offers benefits and its mostly a good thing. I'm just tired of government deadlines to get things in on time or get penalized. With that said, according to these CPA's as an employee you can still get scrutinized - as the IRS can deem

Gentlemen, I think there's some misunderstanding concerning feed line length and proper matching. If the source and load are both the same impedance as the feed line then you have a perfect 1:1 match and the impedance seen at the source is the same no matter what the feed line length is
