Re: Tax Law
Your employer is required by law to obtain your SSAN. If you don't provide it, he might fire you. The fact that you didn't get a W-2 or 1099 the previous year does not mean you did not have a duty to file a return or pay taxes. You should consult with someone to determine whether you had a duty to file and determine your tax liability, if any. Failure to file an income tax return can subject you to civil and criminal penalties as well as interest on any tax owed. If you need additional information, please call to schedule a consultation.
