Best Answer

You get a W-2 form from an employer who pays payroll taxes. You get a 1099 from someone who paid you, but did not pay taxes on the money you were paid. This means that any income you get on a 1099 must be paid at a higher self-employment tax rate.

I would like to know since I am a W2 employee, can I also be a 1099 employee if I contract with the store to instruct there? I thought I would be paid hourly for hours worked in the store as a W2 employee and then I could bill them for contract work done teaching as a 1099? Help!JR1 (talk|edits) said: April 20, 2007Generally not. IRS doesn't like to see W2's and 1099's coming from the same company to the same person in the same year. In their thinking, you cannot have two different relationships with the same person at the same time.
