Here's a link to a Texas state page that cites the former 20-factor test as well as the updated version.  If you do a Google search for "20-point independent contractor test," you'll come up with lots of helpful information, including forms and instructions from the IRS web site.

Michael,

Can you provide a pointer to the 20-point test?

Thanks,

Mike

The US DOL's vaunted 20-point test of independent contractor status has come in and out of favor a few times in my almost 30 years as a consultant working in a general partnership.  Regardless, I still use it as a guide when considering any nonstandard client relationship.
