My employer didn't pay my taxes and insurance since I started working with them almost 1 year now.
What should I do ?
Any advice please

What taxes, were they withholding taxes from your pay ? Did they not turn that money in?

Next are you a real employee or a 1099 worker which is considered self employed. ( what type of work do you do)

But you basically report them to the labor department and the IRS.

BTW, if you make that report to the Labor Department and IRS, do NOT be surprised if you get terminated!

This happens all too often.

You need to confront the employer about this. I suspect that the employer, strapped for cash, is delaying making these payments, hoping that business will pick up and they can make it up later.

The IRS takes a VERY DIM VIEW of this practice, and will impose HEAVY penalties (the employer could end up pay over TWICE of what was originally owed) until the taxes are paid. The state's attitude is similar to the IRS on this matter.

Of couse, it might just be a clerical error. The only way to know is to ask the employer.
