So go the other way and report them for abusing 1099, for 1099 to be legal they can't even directly give you any hardware, you need to pay for it yourself, I think there are even laws about using their desks.
What I'm trying to say is that even if you report them for 1099 on the federal level, you do not necessarily convert to "employee" status in a state's eyes. This has an impact on your ability to file for unemployment, tax burdens, etc. You'd think that the federal opinion would influence the state's, but there's a breakage.
