Question I am self employed i work as a caregiver in elderly persons home.I work on my own,private duty and also through a placement agency who provides me with clients..i am paid directly by the client and not by company..This is my issue in my understanding i am self employed and work ay will,i have always filed a 1099 ,now one of my clients is wanting to give me a w-4 and conceder herself my employer...she said this is some sort of a new law for 2009..i am unaware of this law and do not want her to do this..can you tell me what is right
Answer Your client is correct that you should be treated as an employee and not an independent contractor. You are considered an employee because your client has the right to hire/fire, give specific instructions, and you have the use of their supplies. An example of an independent contractor would be a gardener who brings his/her own supplies to complete the job.
