You didnt know you were a contractor? You didnt realize that your taxes werent being taken out of your checks?

I don't know how to answer you back, but, I did know that I was a 10-99 employee, but I didn't know the conditions that made me one, I had no choice in the matter,

Your best answer to this would probably come from a labour lawyer.

Misclassification of Employees Consequences of Treating an Employee as an Independent Contractor If you classify an employee as an independent contractor and you have no reasonable basis for doing so, you may be held liable for employment taxes for that worker (the relief provisions, discussed below, will not apply). See Internal Revenue Code section 3509 for more information. Relief Provisions If you have a reasonable basis for not treating a worker as an employee, you may be relieved from having to pay employment taxes for that worker. To get this relief, you must file all required federal information returns on a basis consistent with your treatment of the worker. You (or your predecessor) must not have treated any worker holding a substantially similar position as an employee for any periods beginning after 1977. See Publication 1976, Section 530 Employment Tax Relief Requirements (PDF) for more information. Misclassified Workers Can File Social Security Tax Form Workers who believe they have been improperly classified as independent contractors by an employer can use Form 8919, Uncollected Social Security and Medicare Tax on Wages to figure and report the employee’s share of uncollected Social Security and Medicare taxes due on their compensation. See the full article Misclassified Workers to File New Social Security Tax Form for more information. http://www.irs.gov/businesses/small/article/0,,id=99921,00.html *** There is a "add a comment" button under this answer, click on that to reply to me.
