Hi Everyone,
I was just turned into an employee from an independent contractor. I still work as an independent contractor under how it's described and I'm trying to figure out what the benefit is for someone like me to be an employee (with taxes withheld from my checks now), though I don't receive any benefits, I don't have a stable income or set pay, and still buy my own equipment every so often to get the job done without reimbursement. I'm worried that I won't be able to deduct expenses like my mileage and gas expenses as I still go out and do jobs outside of the location and equipment purchases. Thanks for any input.
