My question is, how would you do a 1099 illegally?
By treating you as an independent contractor when you're, in fact, an employee.
Wouldn't that be a W2 form?
As an employee, you should get a W2 form. But the employer would also have to withhold taxes and contribute on your behalf to social security.
Many employers, especially small business types, prefer to offload that administrative overhead and just call you an independent contractor so you're responsible for your own taxes.
The employer gets the same work done, saves money and paperwork. The employee gets the short end of the stick.
