What about deductions?
I also recently started working as an IC, for the first time. Besides setting aside part of my wages, is it true that at tax time I can lessen the tax bill quite a bit by taking a home office deduction, such as utilities, etc.? Do I pay separately into Social Security? Inquiring minds want to know.......Thanks!
Deductions are still allowed
Even if you are on employee status, you can still take deductions for your at-home office. I didn't think so either until my accountant told me that absolutely, you still can. It isn't as much as if you are totally self employed, but there are still quite a few allowed. The best of both worlds is statutory employee. That means you do not pay both sides of the SS Tax but you still send in quarterlies. This way, you can take all deductions for your home office, etc. Hope this clarifies it a bit better.
Are you sure taking all available deductions?

You forgot to do some deductions - sm
like medical benefits, taxes, no pay for vacation or sick time, no rasies, etc. I got out of this field about a year ago but still visit this board. It amazes me how the same baloney is complained about for at least the 10 years I was an MT. Not everyone can type 200 lph no matter how long they've been typing. You have no idea how BAD it is for your health to sit for long periods of time. Glad you're happy with the position and I'm happy I'm out of it. Now I get bennies, vacation pay, don't have to work holidays and/or weekends and make about $16/hr.
Those things MTs pay for are tax deductions. And
dr. to you? DO you think it just magically appears in your PC? And who do you thing handles the disgruntled facilities, dictation-to-MT break-downs, and all the other irritating details that come with this business. It is not just work in, work out, cash the check.
Saw JLG hiring SE and IC. SE can take home office deductions, right? (sm)
Any other pros/cons about this or the company in general?
I'm an employee and can take home office deductions. You
have to have a $$ amount equal to a certain percentage of your income to be able to claim expenses if you are not an IC. I don't claim home office because it only made about a $50 difference in my report and I'd rather not claim it than worry about an audit since my office isn't 100% office use, my internet service isn't 100% work related, etc. HR Block does my taxes too.
But as work at home IC, deductions can often lower
x
I thought statutory could claim those same deductions? NM
Oh no. Also check to see if your tax deductions (fed, state, social security) were

I meant nothing wrong. I meant a friend who can vouch for

It was not meant to be nasty. I meant that you should take every job seriously. Just because someo
is their focus does not mean that patients should suffer. 96% accuracy could mean the difference to someone who is on the receiving end of that report. I am NOT QA or management but I am an experienced Transcriptionist who believes that the reports we transcribe need to be accurate for the patient's sake.
I am including all insurance deductions including nm

That is not what I meant at all! Meant broaden to
Broaden to think leave to other profession if that is what is wanted, dont limit yourself to thinking only can leave to another MTSO. Geeesh.
Excuse me.....what?
we need more details please.
Sorry for the typo there
I meant to say to you mean offshore.
Excuse me, but...
I would say 200 million in DEBT is pretty much going down the tubes. HS was a great place to work, but Spheris leaves much to be desired. I won't even dignify your last comment with a response. lol I was with HS since the very early days, so I am sure I was with the same company longer than you were, as I just recently left myself. Oh wait, every company I ever left? Let's see, 8 years at one and 7 years at the other one. I would say that was a pretty good track record, dear. Sorry you had to make it personal.
Excuse me? But where, exactly did
I simply expressed that radiology and pathology will always be around and need to be transcribed and that the school sounds like the cost is too much. Where am I missing the bullying/harass?
excuse me? you don't know me...sm
ooh - someone woke up nasty or stayed nasty all day, huh?
IF you are presuming to know me, you're coming out of left field...and you have a choice - you did not have to respond.......
Go enjoy your weekend - hope it doesn't rain anymore on your parade.......
         
Excuse me! Wow.

Excuse me? If I say they did, they did. I ought
to know. My start date was the 1st of the month. Actually my first payday was supposed to be in the bank the 15th of the next month. So do not tell me NEVER when it happened to me. I also know others it happened to also. I do not post things that are not true. I have all of that information and the emails that went with it saved so if you want to post an untruth and say it never happened, you don't know what you are talking about or your memory has lapsed...depending on which KS MT or mgmt person you are. You won't intimidate me dearie, not when my bank account is the best proof along with the documents that support it.
typo
Mr. Ormond earned $17 million not $71 million
yes, MDI-MD - sorry, that was a typo

another excuse
I worked for a company that said they maile dchecks Tuesday but it was postmarked friday, and the best excuse was that their bank had an error and they had to wait to send checks, and when they went out - they bounced, so another week or two before the money actually came - anybody ever have dealings with a bank that in themiddle of having the account they began holding your checks for mor etime - usually that is beacuse you bounced to many outgoing, so they hold your deposits - but as MT we are stupid and must believe the hype. I say if a check bounces, press charges, show them we mean business, and if oay is late - tack on surcharges, after all you are contracted for work and pay date is part of the contract. there should be no ecuses, we are not allowed any room for our TAT, we work very hard for the money
Yes, there is typo. Bad little
Sorry about that typo..I don't do that on the job!! lol
.
There is no excuse for this
The company I work for I don't have to rely on the dictaphone website for my line count where I work now, I look under the sessions stats which are DISABLED on your system. Even if there is a lag there is no excuse for the awful line count, the line count lag has nothing to do with your production. You can put all the shortcuts you want in but your're still gonna work your fingers to the bone. I do about 270 lines/hr now, where I used to do about 150 there if that and that was really struggling. When there is that much descrepancy then I have to wonder what the difference is. Headers and footers are not counted on the account I work on either. Hope things have changed for your sake, if so, thats just great and i wish you luck!
sorry for the typo!

I think it was a typo. Also, maybe they were trying
F
Excuse me but...
I am not the one calling someone small minded. I do fit in at DSG. It is a great place to work if you are a dedicated hardworking MT, so thanks for the compliment and good luck with your job hopping. Hope company #26 will be able to please you.
Well, excuse me!!!!
make roughly $15 an hour? But you REFUSE to do high ESL's. I am glad to know that you can find a job and be able to REFUSE work and make your coworkers pull the load. HEY, KSMT2, how does that make you feel? LMAO. You two are a joke!!!!!!
That's always the excuse
You must not have met their standards. No, they are just a lousy, disorganized company. They did not meet my standards, and I am not the only one. There are many MTs who have had the same exact experience. This is not new information.
typo - *than* not *that*...nm

Sorry - big typo
It was 50 minutes -- I was thinking 50 min of dictation equals about 500 lines.
that's bad, not bac. sorry for the typo
it is early here, need coffee.
Sorry typo
E-Transcription
Now that would be a typo, rather than what
she correctly pointed out as grammatical error :)
To Excuse me?
Well stated!
Excuse me????
Who do you think you are to say this has never happened to me? I have been an MT for 20 years!! Aren't you doing the same thing as the cherry pickers by whining about the crappy report you got? You guys actually look up the job to see if someone dumped it? Are you that pathetic as well that you can't handle transcribing the thing either? It boils down to this - If you are good, not a single report will slow you down. If you are a terrible MT who only can do easy reports, well, I could care less what you throw back in the pile. If my child happened to see a doc who was ESL and an MT started whining about getting the crappy report and spent even a second trying to see if someone was cherry picking - well, I would fire their lazy butt!! All I'm saying is do the darn reports and quit worrying about people who cheat, they aren't any good anyway! You guys call yourself MTs? Please! More like a bunch of babies! This is why being an MT is no longer considered a profession. There was a day when we cared about doing our part for the physicians and the patients. Now we have a bunch of typists complaining and whining. We actually used to get paid very well! I can see why rates have gone down - there aren't any real MTs out there anymore.
