<prompt> Human: She only gets paid minimum wage and she only works 5 hours mon-Friday.Her first check will be about 160. Im just wondering if it would be worth it to go through this. I dont know how much of a hassle doing taxes yourself is, and I dont want it to mess up my income taxes since we file together.Anyone think this is a good idea or should she probably find something else. Assistant: What type of employee is she? What forms did she fill out when she was hired? Human: Well shes not hired yet. Its a waitress job that she is just trying out this week to see if she likes it.  <response>: She should be a w-2 employee and they should be withholding taxes.if she isnt hired yet, then she is likely getting paid under the table or as a contractor. I use quotes cause they shouldnt be legally doing that.
