Liz Weston: Workers, classified as independent contractors, often end up with surprise tax bills

To Liz, please:Regarding a son who was getting paid as a contractor, a parent recently wrote to you.

Another person I know acquired a job that didn’t deduct taxes from his salary. These employees think they are keeping more money, yet far too many are unaware of the nature of withholding. They find an enormous tax bill that a paycheck-to-paycheck worker cannot afford, and they only find out if they decide to file for their anticipated return.
