Do I work as a freelancer (1099) or am I considered a Jitjatjo employee (W2)?

If hired would I be a W2 or 1099 employee and what do I do about taxes?

All Jitjatjo Talent are classified as W2 employees. We do not offer work opportunities for independent contractors, or 1099 workers.

As a W2 employee, we withhold all of your federal, state and local taxes. By paying them on your behalf, we make filing your taxes so much easier. This greatly reduces the risk of you getting large tax bills commonly associated with 1099 work.

As a W2 employee, you also get to take advantage of benefits like overtime, worker’s comp, and sick pay.
