So, I recently finished a job with a friend who runs a business through his Sole Proprietorship (sp), and the sp is in his name (we both live in Pennsylvania). The job cost $6000 total, which we split two ways, 3000 a piece.

He wants my social security number and address so he can claim me on his taxes as an employee. Does that sound right? I just want to make sure I'm not giving out my social if not needed.

Also, how do I claim him on my taxes and do I need his social as well in order to do so, or can I just list him as a sole proprietorship or something?
