If you work on a w2 basis, you are an employee of the firm paying. As a 1099 you are a sub-contractor, at the end of the year you don't get a w2 statement complete with withholding info, you get a 1099 which says 'we paid you this much' it's then up to you to pay the govt taxes and such - as well as 14% soc sec and 12% medicare (?). You wind up having to charge more as a 1099. My acct says charge twice what you want to make. cheers j. > -----Original Message----- > From: Carl Wu [mailto:carlywu@yahoo.com] > Sent: Tuesday, November 21, 2000 12:51 AM > To: informix-list@iiug.org > Subject: Re: Informix Developer Wanted > > > > Joanne Dority wrote in message ... > > > >Ronald Cole wrote in message ... > >>Gary Quiring <garyq@emcosales.com> writes: > >> > >>The agency may be assuming a lot more risk than the programmer. > > > >Nothing that a $150 per year liability policy won't cover. > Agencies will > >employ you as a 1099 if you have one .... :) > > > > What does 1099 mean? > > > > > >
