Thus no one is withholding anything for fica/mc or taxes. If she makes $15000 a year, she'll owe $2119 in self-employment taxes...wich is about right for your comment that she pays $100 a month. The reason she doesn't get anything back is that she doesn't pay anything in ahead of time. She isn't eligible for EIC (due to lack of SSN) and the child tax credit doesn't apply if the dependents are 17 or older. The number she has SHOULD be an ITIN, not an EIN. And, yes, we can tell she cleans houses--she can't legally work as a contractor for any firm that is a business. No one can legally hire your mom as an employee since she doesn’t have an SSN.
