<prompt> Human: Hi PF, my dad is trying to decide whether he should take a salaried job vs full time hourly. If he takes the salary position his income will be 117,000. If he takes the hourly position his hourly income will be 82hr for 40 hours a week. My dad is over 60 years old; he is going to retire soon and he wants to know which is the best choice for him. Also, if he takes the hourly position how would he go about doing his taxes?  <response>: Id assume he is a 1099 contractor? If so, the hourly is a far better deal even if he has to pay his own taxes.No mention if theres a benefit package of any kind either way but asduming there are no benefits either way the hourly is the way to go. Have an accountant assist with withholding and deductions.
