Well, both you and your employer can be in big trouble for what you have done.  It is tax evasion by both of you.  If he is not reporting you a an employee and reporting your salary then another problem you have is that thee are no wagesupon which unemployment can base a claim.  That is how unemployment works.  It looks at the amount of wages you earned to calculate the amount you can collect should you be eligible.  I doubt that tour employer will admit that you are an employee and they will fight your filing.  Best to look for a new job ON the books.  If you file you will be opening up a huge can of worms.
