Illustrative photograph. A gray-haired man holds a paper and rests a pen near his chin while reviewing it beside a laptop. Applicant story for 2026-11-04, card 1 of 3. #QUESTIONFORGROUP What would you ask before accepting work as an independent contractor? THE JOB TITLE MAY NOT TELL YOU WHAT KIND OF WORKER YOU ARE. The offer sounds good. The hourly rate catches your eye. Then you notice two words: independent contractor. That detail can change how you plan for taxes and work expenses. ASK BEFORE YOU ACCEPT. Will I be hired as an employee or as an independent contractor? Who decides when and how the work gets done? Applicant story for 2026-11-04, card 2 of 3. Who pays for supplies, insurance, or other costs? Will taxes be taken out of my pay, or will I need to plan for them myself? The IRS says worker status for federal tax purposes depends on the facts of the working relationship, including control and independence. A label in an agreement does not decide the answer by itself. That does not mean every contractor offer is wrong. It also does not mean you can tell your status from one question alone. If the terms are unclear, ask for them in writing. Consider talking with a tax professional about how the arrangement could affect you. Applicant story for 2026-11-04, card 3 of 3. If you have performed the work and are unsure about your status for federal employment taxes, the IRS says a worker or business can ask for a determination using Form SS-8. Different laws may use different tests. The right answer depends on the facts. Before you say yes, know what you are being offered and what questions still need answers.
