Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Great answer from a previous post. As an add on,  the W2 position allows employment tax withholding by individual paycheck, whereas if you don't make quarterly estimated tax payment as an independent contractor, then the tax bill when filing a tax return with self employment tax can come as quite a shock.  In a nutshell the W2 position with proper withholding will eliminate unpleasant surprises at the end of the year.
