Employers....Beware... There is a new form —
Form 8919, Uncollected Social Security and Medicare Tax on Wages
— that employed (and I mean "not literally") workers are encouraged to file if they perform services for a
firm that did not withhold FICA from pay and the worker believes he was (is) actually "employed" as an employee.
The form is a whistleblower alert to the IRS to let them know they may want to review the
worker’s status at the employer level to determine whether ro not taxes should be withheld and matched. Of course filing the form is not necessarily something that a worker might want to file while actively working for the firm. But who knows?
