Interesting, the IRS works very hard at classifying independents as employees. When I started contracting, the contract was very clear that I could set my own hours and provide my own equipment. Once I started my own corp, I stopped working about it.

The tax people are ALWAYS lookoing for ways to raise revenue. It's Biblical Smile | :)

The two sad parts: 1) we cannot audit them, and 2) no matter how much money they "collect", the government always spends more.

Has never been more appropriate.
