Question: Am i obligated to pay my former employer back FICA monies that she paid on my behalf?

I was found to be an employee and not a contract worker after filing a 8919 form with the IRS during tax time. My former employer recently sent me a letter along with a corrected 1099MISC, new W2 reflecting payments made by her for me and on my behalf. Further down the letter she states that I need to make a check payable to her for the amounts (monies that would have been deducted from my pay check including FICA, STATE UC, city wage tax) and mail it to her business address. I already paid my share of the federal and state taxes to the government back in April. I’m confused. Do i have to pay her the money she paid in for me?

I’m in pennsylvania.
The reason taxes werent initially withheld is because i technically started as a contract employee and later fought it with the IRS to gain employee status.

Answer: Not sure. You may have already paid FICA taxes that would include the former employer’s share…maybe not. Regardless, gather you paperwork and ID’s. Then call the IRS now to get this resolved. The number is 1-800-829-1040.

Question: Each year I get a refund from over payment of income tax and?

each year I get a statement of the refunds that I have to include in my tax return. Why do I have to pay income tax on income refunded for over payment the year before.
If this money had never been deducted and then returned I would not have paid tax on it, so why must it be included as income tax for the next year?

Answer: this is not necessarily true.

some people itemize and deduct what the state takes. this makes it so that they don’t pay tax on that amount.

if that is your case then you have to include it in income to pay tax on it.
