The big thing about 1009 people, they have to be able to schedule and run their own work. They cannot be required to show up at times dictated by you. They should also have other clients they work for and bill. If you are the only one they have been working for it’s not likely to qualify as a 1099 contractor. The tax people like to say, if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, then it’s not a 1099 contractor J
I am not a lawyer or tax professional so this is just my hearsay advice. Worth as much as you paid for it and not a good defense in an audit….

Technically then nobody is dependent primarily on you for the equipment I assume youd run into insurance and taxation as a leasing company, but wouldnt that effectively not be a dependent employee? Am I correct in assuming that if audited, there really isnt any way to not make these folks be employees?
