H2A and TAX UPDATE
PLEASE READ AND TAKE NOTE.
It seems this year the IRS are starting to get HOT on Foreign workers not paying Income tax, this has been brought to my attention from several guys placed on harvest crews who are now being asked to pay Income tax, which after research you are liable for.
The best I can advise is to make sure your employer deducts this from your pay at source.
You will be sent a W-2 form to submit to the IRS the following year.
If you work anything over 179 days you are liable for Income tax, you are not liable for Social Security or Medicare taxes.
Also, I advise NOT to pay what you could owe through the HMRC as this will not be past onto the IRS.
Please don’t let this put you off joining a US or Canadian Combine or Chopping crew, its an amazing experience and what you will gain from it will memories of a lifetime.
WOULD YOUR CLUB LIKE A TALK ON CUSTOM HARVESTING IN THE USA
If your club would be interested I am more than happy to do this for a small fee to cover my fuel cost, the presentation last for around an hour with talking, pictures and film and I welcome questions throughout the presentation.
