Re: Self-employed consultant questions

Companies probably insist on W2 because it's not worth the potential hassle
from the IRS, if the IRS determines that an independent getting a 1099 is
actually an employee of the company for which the work is being done.

Thanks Gary - but I actually did form a sole proprietorship for social
media and digital marketing services. Still working on the website - but I
would definitely take some mainframe work on, if presented with the
opportunity. But there is a consulting position in SM management I applied
for and the recruiter told me that the client insists on w2 not 1099 - and
I am not sure why they would do that.

THanks,
