Yeah. that pretty much sums up that my employer is probably committing tax fraud. I signed an agreement that I was an independent contractor and that I was responsible for my on taxes. That was day one. When the days and months went by, I am required to keep hours, we have a 141 program, sell supplies, non-compete agreement, not allowed to instruct anywhere else (according to our insurance) , help with FAA written testing...all and all, I'm an employee. I just want to pay my state and federal taxes here soon and leave this place. I most likely will need to file for my home state too. I've made about $1200 in the last 5-6 months and don't have enough money to probably go to H&R Block. I never switched residency, b/c when I got here I was already looking for employment back at home. This is the stuff I don't like. This is why I hate dealing with money, b/c I don't see honesty and there are so many ways for me to get screwed. I will pay the taxes, but I just don't want to go to court or jail. Chances are slim to non-existent, but that wouldn't look good for future employment. This is why I thought I would start this tread up.

Thanks for the info.
