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.
