我朋友從一公司轉到另一公司.第一公司欠他一些錢,後以顧問費形式支付.剛從這公司收到二個W2表.但第二W2表上標著"unemployment compensation"(對應顧問費).這錢是到另一公司工作後收到的.會有麻煩?算非法打工?會影響綠卡申請?報稅時如何處理?謝謝!
From IRS
Unemployment Compensation
You can choose to have income tax withheld from unemployment compensation. To make this choice, you will have to fill out Form W-4V (or a similar form provided by the payer) and give it to the payer.
Unemployment compensation is taxable. So, if you do not have income tax withheld, you may have to pay estimated tax. See Estimated Tax, later.
If you do not pay enough tax, either through withholding or estimated tax, you may have to pay a penalty. See Underpayment Penalty, later, for information.
