It's bad enough he somehow is practicing medicine on the general populace.

Yeah, so my company realized how fucked they were without me and now I'm going back there as an "independent contractor" at 2.5 times my old salary to teach them how to run the place.

Geez.

Theldorrin · (Mon Jul 20, 2009 6:46 pm)

Holy shit! That's hilarious!

Vinny · (Mon Jul 20, 2009 6:56 pm)

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

It's great when it is revealed that a seemingly asynchronous relationship actually favours the opposite side from what was expected.

Sporkism · (Mon Jul 20, 2009 9:18 pm)

That's awesome, but does that mean you're only going to be working there for a certain amount of time?

Even if that's the case, at least it will buy you time to look for another job while still making money.

Man, that's pretty funny. What a bunch of fuckers!

If you're an independent contractor, you're going to need 2.5 times your old salary to cover the self-employment taxes.

The US government enjoys ruthlessly assraping those who work for themselves.

Theldorrin · (Mon Jul 20, 2009 9:25 pm)

What? Why would you need that?

I don't pay any extra above normal.

Big Fagot · (Mon Jul 20, 2009 9:35 pm)

The word is asymmetric, Theldorrin.

Theldorrin · (Mon Jul 20, 2009 9:51 pm)

Yeah, whoops. You can tell I was thinking about something else when I wrote that.

Curse you, AJAX!

Yogurtman · (Mon Jul 20, 2009 10:53 pm)

Yeah, it'll only be for a few weeks or something, but getting paid for a while is better than nothing.

In looking at the tax forms I don't really see how the self-employment tax is particularly higher than any other taxes.

It's so annoying when people bitch about taxes.

Space Ghost just doesn't know the pain of accidentally getting bumped to a higher tax bracket and losing several thousand dollars.

Magic Juan · (Tue Jul 21, 2009 6:50 am)

Just get tax exemptions!

Roy · (Tue Jul 21, 2009 7:46 am)

You should troll them by showing up for your first day of work late.

For me there would be an issue if I was incorporated, but since I'm just a mere sole proprietorship it's literally the same income tax, plus I have to charge and pay sales tax (but that's essentially a zero sum game year to year, at least).

If I were incorporated the business would have to pay income taxes as well as myself when I was given a salary. But I think even that is favourable, since you only pay tax on profit, and the business tax is lower than personal income tax.

Magic Juan · (Tue Jul 21, 2009 9:17 am)

Incorporating is a good idea. I incorporated a while ago and used all my stock market earnings as my profit, and then with a charitable donation and "business expenses" I paid a small amount of tax.

Theldorrin · (Tue Jul 21, 2009 10:58 am)

How complicated was it to do your corporate taxes?

Big Fagot · (Tue Jul 21, 2009 12:09 pm)

Roy is right.

Magic Juan · (Tue Jul 21, 2009 12:55 pm)

I didn't do the corporate taxes because I had a family lawyer at the time, but he did explain to me the entire process and it didn't sound very difficult.
