Say I do a bit of friendly contracting for someone, and get a few thousand dollars as pay. I'm given a check for X dollars, and neither fed taxes nor social security are taken out. I can figure out how to get this income declared on my 1040 fed return. What do I need to do to make sure my social security and other "payroll" taxes are paid legally?
