MN2V Posted February 25, 2008 Report Posted February 25, 2008 I have a part time farmer who paid his wife in commodity wages. Are these subject to SE and/or employment taxes? Quote
OldJack Posted February 25, 2008 Report Posted February 25, 2008 Yes, SE tax, if the commodities were sold. The commodities have the same classification in the hands of the wife as they did in the hands of the husband. Husband gets a Sch-F deduction only in the year wife sells and wife has Sch-F income in the year sold subject to SE tax. No payroll employment taxes. Quote
