Question
which of the following workers will need to pay their own social security insurance? a secretary for a law firm a hostess at a restaurant a teacher at a high school a driver for a rideshare app
Brief Explanations
- A secretary for a law firm, a hostess at a restaurant, and a teacher at a high school are typically employees (W-2 employees) where the employer withholds and pays a portion of Social Security taxes, and the employee pays the other portion.
- A driver for a rideshare app is usually an independent contractor (1099 worker). Independent contractors are responsible for paying the entire Social Security tax (self - employment tax, which includes the employer and employee portions of Social Security and Medicare taxes) on their own, as they do not have an employer to share the tax burden.
