Q: trying to find a way to hire1099 and no w2.
opening a similar business like Uber and lyft. All IRS questions about 1099 vs w2 are good for 1099 but 1. The Question do you have your own tools or employer's. So in my business we give them the car. Is there any way to hire 1099 ?
A:
There are fairly well-defined methods for deciding whether someone is an independent contractor or an employee. It sounds like you used a checklist. That is helpful but not may not be binding. IRS has "Publications" which address many issues in detail. It seems as though you need help. You will be investing time and money. You should consult an attorney. There can be significant penalties for making the wrong decision.
