Yes, long hard hours! Never done in the summer. Then I take off Nov. to May.
Well, this person has set the wage (which is very low), the hours pretty much and says you are a subcontractor. It seems like this is more of a temporary position without their having to go through an agency and pay that extra money and not a real job.

It depends on the job. New housing I am a sub and get a 1099. A drill job for a homeowner, the check goes into my business account. I have over a million in equipment paid for. It is not a job. It is a business.

Thanks for clarifying this for me. I feel a bit hoodwinked.
But there are many who never got to that point that didn't pay SS and now are homeless and depend on welfare only.Many get disabled in their 20-30's and many loose everyhting when they thought they had iot made.

That is the difference between self employed and unemployed.
If a sub contracter gets a job from a contractor that is to pay prevailing wages in Indiana, and the sub contractor - sub contract a couple guys to help with the job, does the sub who gets the job from the contractor have to pay prevailing wages to their subs? If the sub does have to pay the subs prevailing wages are they also subject to audits about every 2 weeks?
Here's an interesting post on added scrutiny of 1099 employees:

I think what also needs to be made clear here-- is that if you are operating your own business and even if you are not making a profit-- to the IRS you have to show that you are operating with a profit motive.
If you can't the IRS is not so friendly in allowing you to take all of your "business deductions" thereby circumventing paying taxes on revenues earned.
As for subcontractors-- there are specific rules to truly show you are a subcontracter. If you are not in control of your own destiny on that job-- (i.e. using your own equipment, coming in on your schedule, etc) then more than likely you are truly not a subcontractor and should be an employee.

And there are some who are just ignorant and think that even if they never paid a dime into SS that they will magically get it if they became disabled or retired.
I know someone in that boat.
