Is it legal for an employer to change a company employee to a 1099 employee 3/4 of the way through the tax year? Would it be legal because the employer failed to pay taxes to the IRS and wants to cover her butt?

I'm no lawyer but I would guess that it depends on how the employer tries to justify the change. If they can somehow prove that the employee is a contractor (they can't tell the contractor how to do their job), vs an employee, then I guess they can. But it is mighty suspicious when you make that change half way through the year isn't it? Did you know that if you don't think your employer is doing the right thing, you can actually contact the IRS and let them know? It'll get the employer in trouble.
