Could i contract to pack a million friggin books and do it on my own time...<G> Nope. Because: You would be using Amazon.com warehouses, and You would be expected to be there at a certain time and leave at a certain time, and You would be supervised by Amazon.com managers, and You would probably be using Amazon.com boxes, packing tape, and mailing labels, and You would probably not be packing books for other booksellers, which is another test of whether you are a contractor or an employee. So since you don't pass any of the tests of being a contractor, the IRS and the U.S. Dept. of Labor would certainly deem you to be an employee of Amazon.com.
