I had several websites open and I copied the wrong URL.  Here's the right one, from your favorite rcreports.com:

"What about real estate agents? Of course, they are independent contractors!

Jack says: Sometimes.

It is a fact that real estate agents can be paid via a 1099 for the work they do as a real estate agent. An agent paid for doing tasks other than selling real estate must have wages for those tasks reported on a W-2. There are two options here:

1. 1. Issue a 1099 for real estate services and issue a W-2 for all other services, or
   2. Put all compensation on a W-2.

Since it would be more efficient to put everything on a W-2, put all compensation on the W-2."
