Legal Question in Business Law in Virginia
Independent contractor hours
I am an independent contractor for a company and have been for 2 years typically billing approximately 50 hrs a week. This company is now telling me that they have to reduce my hours for a period of three months so I don't look like an employee (to 29 hrs a week). Is this really going to make an difference in how the IRS views me? The company already fails 18 out the 20 factor test for me already.

Re: Independent contractor hours
No, it will not, if the company already fails for the purposes of evalating your relationship to your employer 18 of DOL's 20 factors
test for determiming who is an independent contractor and who qualifies an an employee.(You are very obviously an independent contractor and will be treated as such by the IRS.)
