Dealing with the "partners" that I had to sign up with to do my last consulting gig. They are the go between for me and the multinational company I am working for. And the "partners" are totally incompetent and fraudulent. I have expressed my displeasure to the company that hired me. In the past it was straightforward: I did the work, they paid me, I got a 1099 and it was up to me to deal with taxes. With these folks I think they have it set up to pocket any excess "self-employment" taxes I might pay. I will max out Social Security payments elsewhere and yet they take out the "self-employment" amount for both me and the "business" side out of disbursements as if I need to pay full freight for Social Security. I keep asking about records about the "business" side when doing my taxes as I should get it all back and all I get is the run around.
I am not that pissed off about making the US Government a loan until I file my taxes, but I am really pissed off about this company stealing my money and telling me it is a service they are providing. Hell, they are already skimming over 4% off the top before this as a service charge.
Yeah, I am pissed off.
