Question on 1099

Mar 17, 2008 2 Replies

My wife is working part time - per diem (as a nurse) in a hospital. She works there a couple of days a week. We want to get 1099. Hospital says they have no issue. My question is that I have never dealt with 1099. What is the process? How do we get a 1099 and not W2 appreciate any answers Thanks Jim


Whether or not one is an employee who gets a W2 and an independent contractor who gets a 1099 depends on facts and circumstances, not personal preferences. More likely than not, the situation you describe is one of an employee.

If given the option must would opt to receive a W-2 and have the employer pay 1/2 the employment taxes rather than paying the entire amount oneself.
