If somebody operates as your EOR (Employer of Record) your self employment tax goes away! You also get taxes deducted out of each pay check allowing for a much easier budgeting situation. Let me know if you have any additional questions.
"Self-employment tax" is a euphemism for having to pay both the employer and the employee portions of the payroll tax. There is no separate tax levied on the self-employed.
The OP would need to find someone to both become their employer of record AND pay the employer portion of their payroll taxes.
Starting tomorrow, you can access top contract/freelance jobs at Hired! Go to Hired.com, select your interest in "contract" opportunities and let the companies come to you.
Recruiting sucks and we are doing everything we can to make it better!
I am Hired's Category leader for "freelance" or Contract work. The product launch is coming soon. If you are interested, let me know @ matt.pierce@hired.com , we want to build the product around the needs of what is most important..... the TALENT. Hired.com
My name is Matt Pierce and I work for Hired here in SF. (Check out hired.com) I am leading our efforts in building out our Contract Category. I would love to chat with you if you are available over the next couple of weeks? I specifically have questions about the value based pricing vs. hourly, etc. I know the guys over at gun.io and we actually just chatted about the same topic. Would love to get your perspective. Let me know if/when you are free?
This is very interesting! I work for Hired (Hired.com - check it out) here in SF and am leading our efforts in launching our Contract Category. I'd be more than happy to help with painless1099.com, great idea! I would also love to get your perspective on several things. Let me know if you are up for chatting sometime?
Hey, I work at Hired and we are adding contract and potentially part-time work into the product. I'd love to meet up (if you are in SF) or hop on the phone. Feel free to reach me at matt.pierce@hired.com to get something scheduled.
Contract work or part-time would be awesome. Hired seems really cool, but would rather finish school before I go full-time somewhere for more than a summer.
