I am a software contractor. I work for many clients during the day and can pass the IRS test of "self employed" (I control my work, my hours, even bring my own equipment etc.). However, possibly due to a recent Microsoft lawsuit, most clients I work for are refusing to hire 1099 consultants and instead offer W2 through another "pass-through" temp agency. Needless to say, this is not good news for people like me, despite the obvious advantages of W2. The question I have is: What are the possible legitimate employee unreimbursed expenses that a person in my shoes still claim, but which people may not realize.
