As an Employee in Washington State 3. The employer must take a deduction from your pay based on the information that you give on the form regarding the number of dependents you have. You should file this form when you file your income tax return. The form shows how much you earned and how much was deducted from your pay for taxes. This means that your employer has treated you as an independent contractor for tax and other purposes.
Independent contractors have very few labor rights.
These are some of the factors used in determining whether a worker is an employee or an independent contractor. If you think that you are being mistreated as an independent contractor and have a claim under one of the laws covered in this booklet, you may call one of the resources listed at the end of the booklet. If your employer files an incorrect form W-2 or does not file any proof of your employment, it can affect your eligibility for Social Security benefits when you retire. You can find out from Social Security if your wages were reported to them. The children who you list must have lived with you all year in order to be claimed.
