independent contractor - advantage

The only tax advantage to being treated as an independent contractor is that your business expenses are not subject to a 2% limitation of your adjusted gross income. The self-employment taxes you pay are net of any business expenses. Independent Contractors who are sole proprietors must file Schedule C.
