RE: W2 vs 1099

Frank --

One of the things that you stated early was how you were paid.

Quote:

"I submitted invoices based on my hours worked every two weeks, and I was
paid the amount I invoiced."

The above statement probably established the fact that you were an
"independent" business.

I don't believe that there is a requirement that a 1099 be passed between
two entities in such a business relationship.

Your invoice, and the check from the company, established the fact that
money passed from one 'company to 'another'.

I believe it was then your responsibility to file a Schedule C with your
1040 at tax time.

NOTE:  In tax/legal matters, refer to your accountant/attorney.
       I am not providing legal advice in this discussion.
