Typically, that means it is "working as your own business" and not "as employee." The employer could be wrong (should have been W2 employee), or it is the type of profession that is "under contract" such as Health Care Professional. It also could be stipend, which a lot of times is taxable, but people don't realize that. You'd need more info.
