Employee or IC?

So, how can your 501(c)(3) be sure it is properly classifying a particular worker as either an employee or an IC for Federal tax purposes?

The answer: Always look to the relationship between the organization and the worker, paying special attention to two key factors: your 501(c)(3)’s right to direct and control the worker, which would point to employee status; and the worker’s autonomy, or independence, which would point to IC status.
