well I could just as easily be a freelancer instead of working for the company. But i thought the taxes would be higher so I let my pay checks go through the company.

I was wondering something though. When I do freelance work the clients send checks directly to me in my name. I am more then positive they are using this as a tax write off. I guess what I am wondering is how does the IRS keep track of this money...how do they know I owe taxes on it when I never gave the guy my SS# or any kind of ID besides my mailing address.

Sorry if I sound ignorant.

EDIT: OldJack...if there is anyway I could chat with you on AIM or MSN please let me know. My sn is curvsalesrep on aim and pentagon@curv.net on msn. I would greatly appreciate it.
