1099 has some issues.

Makes you an independent subject to termination at the drop of a hat.

W2 in fire at will states is no better protection but at least you get unemployment protection.

The other problem with 1099 is the gov.

Companies are required to do 1099 audits.

If the co is your only reported income and they employ you beyond a certain length of time then they must either hire you or stop using you. As it was explained to me by HR once, it's to prevent companies from getting around employee protection laws.

By paying you for that long a period of time they have demonstrated that they have a full time need for the position and for you specifically.

If you don't derive 100% of your income from them then the time limit goes away.

If you invoice as an LLC or Inc then it's not an issue.

Least that's what I was told.
