Here a few ideas to review.  You can find more information by typing in the search phrase :define independant contractor" in your search window. 
A taxpayer who contracts to do work according to his own methods and who is not subject to control except as to the results of such work. An employee, by contrast, is subject to the control of the employer as to the methods to be used to obtain the desired results.

Independent Contractor
The term is most important as used to describe the relationship of broker and salesperson, employee or independent contractor. If employee, the broker must withhold income tax and pay social security, provide workmen`s compensation, and may be liable for some negligent acts of the salesperson while on the job. All of this is avoided by the broker if salesperson is an independent contractor. Independent Contractor: A person or company retained to perform work for another, often under a written contract, whereby control is subjected to the end result and not as to how the work is performed. As opposed to an employee who receives direction on what, when and, to some degree, how to do a job. Care must be used in the classification of workers as either employees or independent contractors. What distinguishes them is the degree of control the employer has over the activities being performed. Specific definitions of employee and independent contractor exist in IRS publications. After the fact, the IRS can determine that a person was actually an employee. Serious tax consequences may apply if an incorrect classification is made.
