(Sorry if this is not the most correct forum for it -- I was torn between putting my thread in this one and the "taxes" one.)
For three months, I used to work as a personal assistant for a man who was trying to start up his own therapy company that consisted of only me and him. When I started working, he never asked me to sign papers or for my SSN or anything, and my first couple paychecks were in cash from his own checking account. The rest (including refunds made to me) were in checks he made in the name of his start-up business through a bank. Now, about two months after I quit, he e-mailed me, asking me to e-mail him back with my SSN and mailing address for his accountant. I feel uncomfortable giving him my information because I no longer work for him, he paid a portion of my salary in cash, and I only made about $1000 from the job all together, AND he's asking me to respond with my SSN through an e-mail which can be easily stolen or duplicated.
Am I legally required to give him my SSN after I quit my job?
Thank you.
