Thank you for enlightening us.
My work situation, is hard to define, I guess I provide a service, but since I do so much for this particular person I'm basically in his office daily. He does have a degree of expectation and dependence on my work, though I do notify him when I want to take off and he's usually OK with it.
On paper though, is there anything that defines if I'm an employee or an office expense?
PS. What are the chances that someone can, CH"V, be audited for a 1099 that's about $15K?
Certain factors indicate that a person should be on a w-2:
1)If the employer gives you the tools and equipment and place to work
2)Gives you support like hiring secretary to help you
3) Gives you training to improve your job skills
4)Gives you job benefits like health insurance
5)Pays for your time rather than for the job completion (ie $15 per hour as opposed to paying you $45 to do something no matter how long it ends up taking you).
The chances of anyone getting audited are less than 1%, however, you never know what could happen....
