I'm getting ripped off My guess is you haven't ever received a letter from the IRS saying you owe money, because $1800/year might sound like a bargain to avoid the stress such a letter creates. For example, I once had a client switch their billing service. Each service sent a 1099 to the IRS for the same work for the same client for the same tax year. The IRS is a blunt instrument. I got a bill (for taxes, interest, and penalties) because I had only paid taxes on the money I was paid. Yes it all got resolved properly. But I opened a letter with five figures of taxes owed. And had to figure out what had happened while completely freaked out and in a domain where I was operating for the first time. Would have been nice to have just called my accountant. Of course your mileage may vary, and so to your luck.
