1099 vs W2

General

Hey all; quick question. I was employed by an independent contractor; signed a 1099. Save for taxes, however, I am bound to this position.

  1. I cannot work another job
  2. I am asked to come in Su-Fr
  3. I cannot say “no” or I’m fired, as has been threatened before.

I was paid cash, then through CashApp & after signing the 1099, issued a check. I’m assuming I’d be responsible for my own taxes out of that, and I know that’s a 1099 thing. I’m just curious about my classification; provided tax season looms.
