I could be wrong, but I think you need to fill out a 1099 on him if you consider him contract labor.

1099 will probably cover your a--. In the past anything under $600 did not require taxes taken out. Don't know if still true, but consulting accountant/tax person is good idea.

it was 600 lasr year,no 1099 needed if he make under 600.
