[QUOTE="sonicbuffalo_RIP, post: 295003, member: 21543"] My advice again (new advice) is to go to the IRS website and plug in definition of a 1099 employee. It has a list of about 10 things that the company must adhere to in able to say you are a 1099 employee. I'm thinking the company that wants to hire you is toeing the line, but if I remember correctly (highly doubtful), I don't think they are totally toeing the line. Read up on it, as you will be responsible for paying your taxes, etc. I learned the hard way. I was going to use the money on the back end of the sales I made to pay the taxes, until the A**hole decided to can all salespeople who had sold a lot and he didn't want to pony up the rest of the 10% in back side sales that he owed me. I figured he owed me over $60,000 when I left, but I had no written contract and couldn't prove it in court. I was also on the hook for $3,000 in taxes (which I did pay). Talking about ripped off, that is an understatement. My only consolation is that he is out of business now! Yay! Amen! [/QUOTE]
