YOUR COMPANY GIVES YOU A 1099. DOES THAT MEAN YOU'RE REALLY SELF-EMPLOYED?
Not so fast.
Some companies classify workers as independent contractors, but a 1099 form alone doesn't determine whether you're legally an independent contractor or an employee.
And here's why that matters: Your classification can affect your taxes, your self-employment tax obligations, and even your employer's potential payroll tax liability.
Before you celebrate the supposed tax benefits of being a 1099 contractor, there's something you need to understand about how the IRS looks at your working relationship.
Watch before assuming your classification is correct.
