I was just doing my taxes and found out that because I was a tutor for "No Child Left Behind" for a short period of time, it cut my refund in half... because they made me file a 1099 for it...
How dare they? And the private tutoring company never even paid me for the gas that I spent to drive all over the county tutoring the kids....
I hate Bush!

Steven F - No, actually you are wrong... I worked for it so I know what I am talking about.
No Child Left Behind was set up (in part) to hire private organizations (mostly churches via "faith based intitiatives") for the purpose of tutoring children who were attending failing schools.
So yes, I chose to work for one of these organizations because I wanted to help... I did not realize that it would result in lower pay, more gas and higher taxes for me - a working college student.

When you don't make much to begin with, filing a 1099 on a couple hundred dollars just takes that much away from your exemptions - meaning for me, that it cut my return in half this year.

No Child Left Behind is not an organization that you can work for. It is a set of standards that schools must meet to receive Federal funding. Whatever your opinion of the law, it is not related to you tutoring job. If you accepted a job that didn't pay your expenses, that's your problem, not the government's.
To answer your question, EARNING money increases anyone's tax liability. It doesn't matter who you work for.

this isn't any longer in elementary terms long island that NCLB would not artwork in, it rather is everywhere. the subject isn't any baby Left in the back of calls for ALL little ones to realize the comparable academic standards. In different words, little ones who've an IQ of fifty ought to study and bypass the comparable try as a baby of "regular" intelligence with a view to fulfill AYP (adequate each year progression). instructors are forced to attempt to do the impossible. in case you look on the breakdown of try effects, opportunities are high you will see that the subsections of specific training and in all probability low socioeconomic status scholars are the only ones failing the exams, no longer the final college inhabitants. i'm a instructor, and our colleges possibilities of passing AYP this 12 months rested in the qualifications of 21 specific training scholars. who's the genuine loser? The specific training scholars. with the help of being forced to attempt what they're rather no longer mentally able to in the 1st place, frustration and behaviour themes abound. ought to they be examined? actual! yet while a baby has a psychological age of 5, try them at that time. do no longer punish the excellent college because of the fact a handful can not carry out something they weren't able to in the 1st place. specific training scholars have their very own presents, that may't be explored and nurtured with the present NCLB legislations.

If you work for anyone on a 1099, you'll have added tax liability because you'll owe self-employment tax of 15.3% in addition to any income tax you owe on the additional income. It has nothing to do with it being for "No Child Left Behind", and has nothing to do with Bush - the tax law on 1099's was there long before he was president. If you want to hate him, that's your choice, but he didn't increase your taxes - he probably decreased them.
