Definitely illegal. What is worse for him is that there will be a paper trail (starts with the initial scale tickets) in grain tickets that will end up being produced in an IRS audit. They catch it and he will have to pay back payroll taxes and applicable penalties. If it is an hourly wage, it is wages to you subject to your share of social security. You could claim it as self employment income but calling it commodity wages will just raise a red flag. There are 22 factors the state and the IRS use to determine if someone is self employed or an employee drawing wages. You probably couldn't make them work in your situation. There is a special rule for farm labor and payroll taxes but I can't quote it off the top of my head. Taking your pay in gas and other expensable items would be very hard to trace depending upon how the tickets are prepared but still an illegal evasion of payroll taxes. Like Mike said, about the time you get hurt without insurance, it will all unravel with your SSI. The law requires you to report your income as you are taking taxpayer money because of a disability and us taxpayers don't like to be defrauded. And if they think you can work, then I suppose they could take a new look at your SSI. Only thing I can recommend is to follow the law and report your income. Guess you can work for free all you want.
