If filing

taxes using personal legal name and Social Security number, and not a corporation name using an EIN, you are not a business. 

Assess your work duties, instructions, schedule, quota, equipment, programs or instructions provided by MTSO to carry out work during your time there.  If  you meet employee criteria (and most do), you qualify to collect retroactive benefits from the first day you were given explicit instructions, training, equipment, strict schedule.  Legally, you are considered an employee from that ponit on and you are due cash reimbursement for outside medical insurance paid out-of-pocket, for unpaid employer Social Security contributions, for vacation time not paid.

has damaged their reputation FAR more than whatever was said in the post that prompted it.

Had they just left things as they were, it had already blown over.  Now, they have actually seen to it that anyone who wants to work for a company with any decency will stay far, far away.

DISCLAIMER:  ALL CONTENT IN THIS POST IS MY OPINION ONLY, I AM AN MT AND HAVE NOTHING YOU CAN TAKE FROM ME. 

for this company and yes, they did in fact then go back and look at one other person that I am aware of and created, unfortunately, a backlash for that poor person, as she then had to refile her taxes.  The company was hit with huge back taxes, interest and penalties.  I worked for a small MTSO.

Have one doctor that I had problems with and only typed for him foer three months.  He was unethical but then he felt that I should not charge for anything that was not actually typed, i.e. if he did a normal exam, etc.  So we had a falling out and he owes me $200 and he has threatened fraud against me, etc.  But I told him he could not bully me and that we would leg small claims court settle the matter.  Am giving him a three day notices sent in a signed reeturn receipt and if he does not pay I will go to court.   So if you are an IC that is your course of action.  I work directly for the doctor, if you are with a service and you know the docs that you are typing for, can tell your MTSO you are informing them that they do not pay their IC's and you will not longer be able to work or provide services, but that depends if you signed a contract and stated you would not have any contact with the accounts.  My first suggestion, write a last demand letter and outline that you will file small claims court proceedings and send a copy of that to their accounts. 

Good luck.
