My us fiance is working on the I-134 and is president/ceo of his
corporation which is a dealership working with clean water systems.
Not alone does he hold this title being that he owns 51% of the shares
of the corporation, he also works for his corporation so is paid a
wage by it.
Is he considered self employed or employed?
The corporation started around april/may so we arent sure which
category he will fall into.
Anyone got any idea?

I suggest you type google.com on your browser and type "what is a corporation" (don't forget to include the quotes). I'm sure you'll find the answer.
Good luck!

You don't give enough facts to answer the question. You must give ALL of the ways he makes bucks by his daily toil. On what facts do you think that he may be self-employed? You don't say.

I've read your posts here and on Visa Journey. Your husband seems to be most likely Employed. It's not that hard. He's an employee. Have him gather all his tax returns, W-2s, and send them in. If your interview is coming up soon, that would mean most likely years 2001, 2002, and 2003. Or, if only one year is required, then just 2003. If your interview will be sometime next year, he will need 2004's returns. if he hasn't filed yet for any of the years he's required to show, have him file NOW and at least show he's filed. Or if he's asked for an extension, have him show proof of that.
It's really not difficult. If he simply does not want to file for any year that he's missing, then the best you can do is have him write an explanation why he did not, and submit that. Submit what you have, and go from there, but be aware the consulate has the right to request information, and it may delay your case if he's lacking something they need.
Best Wishes,
Rene

IT'S SIMPLE..
The corporation hired him.
The corporation pays him.
It doesn't matter who "owns" the corporation. The fact that he might own
all of the corporation doesn't change anything... How many times do you
need to be told this?
Doesn't he know this? How did he decide to form a corporation in the
first place if he doesn't the basic issues? For instance, if he did
shoddy repair work, then the corporation would be liable, not him.

I would think once clearly is enough to be told thank you. Is it my
fault I dont understand how corporations work? He said he is employed
by the corporation it was ME who was worried and confused. Is it not
better to bring it to forum to put minds at rest - afterall that is
one of the basic reasons for the forum to help people fill in forms
and put minds at rest!

(1) "The forums are always friendly and everyone helps one another you obviously are not a good person but thats your choice to be that way"
(2) "Perhaps it is you who needs to do some reading???"
(3) "Not going to allow you to get to me i come here to ask and to help nice people not people like you so please leave me alone"
I go out of my way to help you and then you come back with this crap. As I said previously, good luck trying to adjust status with your I-864 in the US when future hubby refuses to file income taxes. Regardless of whether your master needs it for his I-134 is irrelevant. It will catch up with you sooner or later, my fair princess. I guess you have been collared. Perhaps your motto is "Try try again until I get the answer I want no matter how many people tell me the *real* answer".

Also this tax return issue will come up for the I-864 after you marry.
My personal feelings about people playing fast and loose with the IRS are meaningless to your situation, but one that might make you consider what else he is holding off doing that might be detrimental to your financial lives together.

And maybe if you had ask the same IRS person that same question 2 more times after they already answered you, then i am betting that they would indeed think you were stupid. Especially if you were as rude to them as you were to Sphy.
What comes around goes around.

Did I ever say you were stupid?
He is the one that should know if he is an employee or not.
I would think that someone who filed paperwork for incorporation would
know why he did it.

It is wrong to ask the same question over and over and over and
over............ BTW, don't always trust answers you get from IRS.
Call them over and over, and I am sure you will get a different answer.
To me, this sounds like he isn't filing the correct paperwork.
1. Did he officially incorporate, or is he just saying it is a corporation?
2. In what state is it incorporated in?
3. Does he file the correct tax forms?
4. Does his corporation pay him?
5. Does he get a W-2?

Not only that, but they respond to my post as if I had called them
stupid... That confused me until I read this post. It seems odd that
they followed up to my post with remarks meant for you. :)
At this point, I am wondering if he is really incorporated or just told
her that.
