I was misclassified as an independent contractor and, from filing an SS-8 (request that they determine my status) through to the two amended returns currently being processed by them, every person I’ve spoken to has been kind, patient, and professional. Even if it is a challenge getting through to them.

I will be super mad, though, if my stuff falls through the cracks and I remain on the hook for taxes my former employer, a tech company, should’ve been paying.
