My client worked in a warehouse last year--didn't pay any attention to the fact no taxes were withheld. Normally I'd be a bit suspicious of that but he's a bit mentally challenged and very well might have not noticed. He was clearly an employee but when he asked for a W2 the owner said he doesn't issue W2s and to just file as an IC. His wages for the entire year were only $11063.
I'm doing a Form 4852 (substitute W2). Should I also do a 4137 to pay the employee's half of social security. I realize 4137 is for unreported tips but on another board I saw that advice given twice to a similar question. Somehow it just doesn't seem right, but I haven't been able to find an alternative approach and I'm just too blooming tired to keep looking. I'm hoping someone out there knows the answer off the top of their head.
BTW, thanks to all for the help given on this and the 'other' board this year and in years past. You're a great group!
