Max W Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 I recently posted a thread re W-2 and gross-up of wages paid for purposes of Schedule H, household employee. The employee has an ITIN starting with 9 which means a W-2 cannot be issued. It has to be a 1042-s. So, it seems to me that the "employee" is really self-employed and would file a Sch C with a 1040 or 1040NR, depending on the circumstances. That would mean that a Schedule H would not be needed. Any comments will be appreciated. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pacun Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 (edited) You are an employee if your employer controls your schedule, trains you, etc. Having a social security number is not a condition that needs to be met in order to be an employee, especially when you worked in 2014 and it is Feb 23, 2015.

Max W Posted February 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Right! I was overthinking this one. All that needs to be done is to gross up the payment on 1042-s and Schedule H remains the same as it would be for a W-2. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
