Hello,
I recently quit a nannying job, for which I was a W-2 employee. Because of the pandemic, I was furloughed for a while and recently just resumed nannying until some extraneous circumstances caused me to have to quit (pregnancy health reasons). My employer's CPA has informed me that they are retroactively switching me to a 1099 from W-2 for all my hours in 2020, since I was just shy of the $2200 threshold: https://www.homeworksolutions.com/knowledge-center/my-nanny-wants-to-be-treated-as-an-independent-contractor-can-i-do-that/
I'm concerned this is going to cause issues for the unemployment I received during the furlough and upcoming maternity leave benefits, as I'm losing all those hours. Is this legal? I've never heard of an employee status being changed retroactively like this.
