Is anyone is this forum self employed?

I'm a lead farmer motherfuckas!



I've been paying self employment tax for more than 30 years.

That explains a lot. Lead poisoning causes severe mental and cognitive difficulties. No wonder you're like you are, AssupDisabled. I'm sorry for not treating you better. You can't help being so ignorant. Please accept my apology, it was not my intent to make fun of the mentally handicapped.

Show your hands, lets get this out of the way. Originally Posted by canuckeight

Those lead based paints in the stalls at the truck stop must GO!

Technically, I am not self employed, I Work for a Corporation, (16 employees). My paycheck has that Corporation's name on it.

But I own 75% of the stock in that Corporation. I am the President of that Corporation. So all major decisions fall into my lap.

I fall into a similar situation where I own a minority stake in the company.
One of the best ways to have ownership where the responsibilities are shared among the partners.
You just have to have good partners and you have to be a good partner.

Most people have no clue what it cost to employ somebody and cannot understand why they are expected to be productive.

Unfortunate, but a reality.

Personally, I hope your good fortune continues indefinitely.

I've run own business for the last 17yrs. We don't sell, we don't eat.

The only ones who are worried about Trump et al not paying enough taxes are the ones who are living off the taxpayers. The rest for the most part don't give a shit!

and that's what we have a tax on income

and if there's a loss, there's a loss, quite simple, and only fair that the loss gets used

if they want a head tax..lets go for it, but I think even then they would only want some heads taxed

Do you pay self-employment taxes?

I founded and still own a financial firm which employs 13 people.
