<prompt> Human: I work as an independent W9 contractor with one company, and I was recently offered a part time job at another company. I think the other company will be W9 as well, but Im not sure. If the other job is W4 I will not take it.My only concern is with my main job finding out about getting a second job. While its not strictly prohibited, it is frowned upon. Is there any risk of them getting a notification from the IRS, or any other government department? Since Im W9 at my main job they dont deduct any taxes, they just give me my 1099 at the end of the year with what they paid me, right?  <response>: The IRS wont contact your employer.The way they will find out about your other employer is if you tell them or someone else tells them.But, as a private contractor, I dont see any reason theyd care. I mean, if they wanted a non-compete in your contract, Id imagine theyd hire you on full-time, right?
