suggesting negotiating with them , at least for the added costs to you. Complaining to the IRS, while leading to proper classification and fine for the employer, may result in "no-rehire" for you with this employer. You may be "dead" right

Meanwhile, you still need to know how to file your tax return, right? Assuming you got a 1099Misc instead of a W-2, if you qualify, there is a free version of TurboTax you can use to report "self-employment" income:

You cannot enter a 1099Misc when you are using the Free Edition. If you qualify, there is another free software program available from TurboTax which will allow you to enter self-employment income reported on a 1099Misc.

Try the Freedom Edition:

You qualify if your income was $33,000 or less, or $64,000 or less if active duty military, or if you qualify for Earned Income Credit
