The IRS website has the answer to your original question...but there's more you should be aware of. As an independent there are some issues with being correctly classified as a contractor vs.. an employee. The rules for this are pretty clearly laid out on the IRS website. They are well laid out here as well: http://www.topechelon.com/recruiters/contracting/20point.htm Basically the contract w2 vs.. 1099 has some problems for people who are independents. The IRS has been cracking down on this. If the customer controls your schedule and determines a few other things the IRS is likely to want to classify you as an employee. Contractors are generally people who set their own schedule, bring their own tools, and are completing a specific defined task. So if your customer is bringing you onboard for staff augmentation for an indefinite period of time be wary. Inc. magazine had a good write up on this in the current issue as well found here: http://www.inc.com/magazine/20080901/employee-or-contractor.html Yes, I know I didn't answer the original question :)
