My wife started a new job at a local motel as a housekeeper today and at the end of the day was paid in cash with no taxes taken out or any record of it. They said that is how they pay. We are raising two teenage grandchildren and enjoy getting a nice EIC on our taxes. I am disabled and my wife is the only worker in the family. Could she claim to be self employed or an independent contractor, pay her own taxes and be able to get a tax refund with the EIC for the boys or should she start looking for a new job. It took two years to get this job. We are in a very small town in mi.

Thank you for viewing this and any help you can offer
