<prompt> Human: Context: Im a college student, and this individual reached out to my colleges department in search of a coding assistant. The job description has the word internship in it as well.I managed to sell myself pretty well in the interview and got the job with my desired hourly rate. I told him how long it would take me to finish the tasks he needed and how many hours per week I would be working.The only piece of paper I signed had a paragraph on it, simply stating my title, how much Ill be paid, and the tasks Ill perform for the company.I recently got my first check and was as happy as I could be. But it just dawned on me that this was way too easy. So after a bit of research, of course I discover this is illegal. I expect to be finished with this job within another month.Whats my best course of action?  <response>: Like everyone else has said, you are a 1099 Self-Employed Independent Contractor.My advice is be VERY careful, as you are going to have a significant tax burden on that. Self employed people are charged 15.3 Self-Employment taxes Fica Social Security AND income tax.
