Of course not if you're doing the same work. But an employee CAN be issued a W-2 AND a 1099-NEC when either doing work on the side for the same company like a side project OR in the case of a Life Insurance Salesman, he would get a W-2 for his wages as an employee but also a 1099-NEC for wages he received from his clients who he serviced. He works a 9-5 job for the company, but also acts as an independent worker selling his company's life insurance on the side.
The State AND the Federal government expect their fair shair on both incomes. I want to enter my W-2 income and take the standardized deduction and enter the 1099-NEC and itemize my deduction.
The is precisely what Turbo Tax Home and Business is for.
