Re: 1099 vs Incorporation

[LORITWR -at- aol -dot- com]

I my experience, the company you work for dictates which tax-type you need to 
be.  I've worked for companies that would only let me work W2 (ugh), others 
for whom 1099 was just dandy (wonderful!), and others who were afraid of the 
IRS and required incorporation.  I really don't want to go the incorporation 
route, so in those cases, W2 has been the only alternative.


Just because you have a federal tax ID or are incorporated doesn't preclude 
you from working under any of the other arenas.
