Just finished doing my taxes* ( :evil: ), and while going through Sched. C info, came up with this question: Is it legal for an employer to classify someone as both an employee and an independent contractor? I thought it was one or the other. One of my jobs last year was in real estate, and I was treated in this manner. Got a small salary (equiv. to min wage) for which withholding was taken, but my commissions were treated as an indep contractor (no withholding).
