None. The employer does not have to pay the half of the Social Security Tax or Medicare Tax that they would if you were an employee. The normally also get out of paying Unemployment Taxes, Retirement Benefits, Medical Insurance, and General Liability and Worker's Compensation Insurance Premiums. The IRS is really cracking down on employers who try to call their employees subcontractors.

Any income that you make as a contract employee should be recorded on a 1099. Even if you only worked one day, if you were paid for that work the employer must provide you with a form 1099. If you have not received this form by January 31, contact the firm and/or the IRS to obtain it. Alternately, if you still have all the pay stubs for this employment, you can figure out how much was received and use it on your taxes, while including a form 4852 stating the 1099 or W2 wasn't received. Of course, if you are an employee - your earnings AND withholdings will be reflected on a W-2, not a 1099.

No. A 1099 is issued to self-employed contractors hired to do a job. If your employer issued you a 1099, they are telling your state's Dept of Employment and Dept of Revenue that you're an independent contractor (self-employed). This means they generally are not withholding any taxes from your pay, nor are they paying their share of payroll taxes or paying unemployment insurance for you. This puts you on the hook for all your own self-employment taxes (FICA & Medicare) which is shared between an employer and an employee. You'll want to check on independent contractor laws in your state to see if your appropriately classified and your employer is paying what they're supposed to pay.
