jobs that pay under the table?

Question

i have a real social security number, not stolen and not belonging to someone else. i prefer to be paid under the table, because i'm experiencing financial hardship. i just got hired by a family owned business but has not done all those tax paperwork yet.
should i just tell them that i want to be paid under the table? do you think small companies comply with that request? serious replies please.

Answer 1

Not sure if it is differrent from state to state but, I am a small business owner in the state of Kansas and I have the option to offer to pay my employees as CONTRACT LABOR. This way I do not have to take out taxes from the employee nor do I have to pay taxes on the same. It actually works better in the long run for both the employer and the employee and saves them both money. i know this same works in the state of Missouri. It is difinately something you can check into anyway and if your employer wants to save money for them self and it is acceptable in your stgate, which I am sure it is, then it would be better for the both of you and less expense for the employer.Hope this can help you !!

Not to blow any covers, but you'd be surprise at how many smaller businesses are willing to take that road. It's very beneficial to both parties...

So, be honest about your situation... tell them about your financial hardship, and see what they can do for you. Worse comes to worst, they can always pay you a certain percentage on the books, and the rest under the table.

I'm not encouraging you to do what we all know is illegal, BUT, I speak from facts, and the fact is, that's the way the world is... and that's the way it's always gonna be.

For sure your salary can be paid out under the table as your boss' personal expenses. but chance is that he may be scared of getting in trouble should something happen to you. so if he didn't offer in the beginning he probably won't like the idea. so don't bother.

Answer 6

I hope they don't

What you are asking is illegal. Do you know what that means?

If anything, say that you are self imployed and to hire you as a contractor or consultant or something. This way they are not obligated to withhold your taxes. There will still be a trail of how much they pay you and this should match how much you declare as income. Again, not reporting this is illegal and the IRS looks for people doing what you plan.

Ok, one loophole you might look at. Become a waiter/waitress, pizza deliver, etc and only declare some of your tips. Paper route, lawn care etc where you are paid in cash is another area that you not declare all that you make. Again, this is illegal but your choice.

Please don't listen to these idiots. They are the ones saying "Let the Mexicans stay"
Sure if they can take my kids job of cutting grass around the neighborhood and send the money back to Mexico . Why can't you get paid under the table . Think about this there is over 5 million illegals getting paid with out being taxed.

Answer 8

You tell an employer that you don't want to be paid OVER the table and if the employer agrees, then you may earn a bounty from the taxman for reporting the company. Or you get underpaid, or worse, fired for inducement for illegal transactions. The guiding rule is: Earn honestly and with dignity... even when on the brink of poverty.

Answer 9

Not a good idea. A quick fix now will nail you down the road. If you work for a company that does this, and they get taken down, you'll certainly go down with them.
