Employer didn't have me fill out W4's?
To try and make sure that you are really will be treated as a employee and that you do have a real honest employer that is really going to withhold the required FICA social security and medicare tax and possibly some amount of FIT federal income tax out of your GROSS wages earned income for each pay period during the 2013 tax year. Use the below enclosed information by going to the www.irs.gov website and use the search box for the W-4 form fill a W-4 out and print 2 copies one to sign and give to your employer and the other copy to keep for your records and also ask if they will be sending out a W-2 to you after the end of the 2013 tax year during the 2014 tax filing season for the 2013 income tax return at that time.

Is your employer legally obligated to give you your W2 form?
An employer must, by law, provide a W-2 to every employee who had wages in the prior calendar year not later than January 31 of the subsequent year. The employer may deliver the form to employees in person, by mail, or (only if the employee consents) by electronic distribution.An employer cannot require an employee (current or former) to come in to the office to pick up the form; if an employer allows employees to pick up the form instead of having it mailed, and the employee fails to do so, the employer must mail it to them on or before January 31, unless the employee has consented to electronic delivery and has not revoked that consent.Under no circumstance may an employer deliberately withhold a W-2 from an employee.The employer is subject to a penalty of between $30 and $260 per W-2 form not provided in a timely and appropriate manner; the amount of the penalty varies depending on if and when the form is eventually provided.
My employer never gave me a w2 or w4 to fill out...is that legal? Can I still file for taxes?
I recently was a manager at a fast food place. The store was a franchise and the owner is a complete mess. He just bought the place 4 months ago and i was hired 3 months ago. I kept asking him for the form and he would always push it off. He never looked or took copies of my ID or Social security number. We had a disagreement and he took me off the schedule without notice and wont except my calls. What should I do?
Do previous employers need to be notified of address change for tax purposes?
You are not legally obliged to notify a prior employer of a change of address, but if you do not they will send the W-2 they are required by law to send you not later than January 31st to your prior address, which you will not receive at your new address unless you still have a mail forwarding order in place.Many employers allow prior employees to continue to have access to their electronic payroll systems for the purpose of obtaining W-2s and similar documents related to employment, and if this is the case you may be able to log into the electronic system your former employer uses for distributing W-2s to obtain your W-2 for your final year of employment.
My employer filled out my W-4 without my consent. What can I do?
The employer is required to submit a W-4 with or without your consent. Mistakes and life changes will frequently make the W-4 change. You only need to file a new one with your employer.Usually someone complains or requests a change because they want less taken out. If that’s you and you have too little taken out then the IRS can require the employer to take more with or without your consent.On the other hand if you have too much taken out the the IRS usually will send you a reminder letter that you may want to have your W-4 adjusted to better reflect what actually need withheld.Either way everything will get adjusted correctly when you file your taxes.If you are upset because the employer filed the W-4 and you didn’t want any taxes taken out then too bad for you.
Why is my employer asking me to fill out the IRS W-9 form?
Your employer is trying to classify you as a contractor rather than an employee, if he controls when you do what, and you directly report to him working on an hourly basis or salary. You report to work at a certain time and can not leave until a certain time then you are an employee and he is responsible to withhold taxes from your wages. If you are free to show up when you want and work under your own supervision and use your own tools and material then you could be considered a contractor. If you have been receiving a W2 from him in the past with him holding taxes out and now he wants you to complete the W9. He is changing your status and that is not legal. Read the attached rules for an employer to distingiuse between employee/contractor. if you feel that he is trying to switch you call the IRS @ 1-800-829-1040 If your are a contractor you are responsible for making Quarterly estimated tax payments through the year http://www.irs.gov/businesses/small/article/0,,id=99921,00.html

Employer filed my w4 without even consulting me?
I started working at a restaurant and after getting the job began to wonder when i would have to fill out my w4. My last jobs provided the forms for me. My employer asked for my social security number as well as other information. I never recieved any instruction to fill one out. I receive my paycheck and i am taxed for medicare, income tax, and social security. This leads me to believe he filled out my w4 without even consenting me. Im pretty sure that isnt even legal. As he would have to forge my signature. I am worried i may not be being taxed appropriately. I only make like 200 a week. So when i get taxed 50 dollars i think about those w4s you know. Anyways i was wondering if even though my employer illigally filed my w4 can i file my own now so i atleast know what my w4 says. I rather have mine in the irs records than some guy who did mine who i dont know and dont know what he put down.
