who will file the income tax return the employee or the employer?

Answer 1

The employer submits W2 forms to both the employee and the IRS. The employee gets all his personal tax info together - which includes the W2 - and files his own income tax return.

Peace!

Answer 2

Only the employee (the person receiving the income) can file the tax return. The employee must fill in all the information and make a legal signature as to the truthfulness of the return.
How would an employer ever do that ? They know nothing of your $$ issues and deductions !

Answer 3

An employee files their own personal tax return; an employer files a tax return on behalf of the company.

Answer 4

the employer files a return quarterly, claiming all the wages the company has paid out. the employee still has the responsibility to file a tax return as well, since the employee collected wages from the employer. did you ever take an accounting class?

Answer 5

I've never heard of the employer filing a tax return for the employee. As an employee, you file your own taxes, or pay a third party to prepare and file them.

Answer 6

if you are employed, the employer shall file the income tax for you. that's why they are deducting w-tax on your compensation every month or payday. on or before January 31 of the succeding year the employer shall submit the summary of alphalist of employees to the BIR. The employer then furnish the original and duplicate copies of Certificate of Compensation Payment/with held (Form 2316- formerly W-2) to each employee. Employees earning pure compensation is qualified for substituted filing of income tax return, and no longer required to file ITR or BIR Form 1700. BIR Form 2316 duly certified by both employee and employer shall serve the same purpose as Form 1700.

Answer 7

Your income tax return? You have to file your own income tax return. Your employer files as well but that covers his butt. If you want money back, you have to file yourself. When you got your W2 forms (tax forms) there should have been instructions with it. Any walk-in tax place should be able to help. Better yet get a smart friend who has filed taxes before and do it yourself. It shouldn't be hard. Just the EZ (easy) form is sufficient.

Answer 8

Can you imagine what it would be like if the employer had to file tax returns for each employee?! The employee does their own tax return. Contact the IRS for advice ( www.irs.gov ).

Answer 9

There are no different rules for taxes between your husbands employer and your employer. The union has nothing to do with it. The only logical explanation is you told your employer not to withhold by filing an incorrect W-4, as the law requires them withhold to if you say nothing. Either that or your employer ignored the law. Talk to your HR department. And the employer did not pay your husbands taxes with their money. They took money from his wages and paid them in your husbands name. You understand the difference? Anything your employer pays for income taxes would reduce your paycheck as it's your money they are using.

Answer 10

Each person needs to file their own income tax return, so the employee.
