If you are an employee, you get a W-2, under which yo0u pay half of the FICA taxes and the employer pays the other half. You will also be eligible for medical benefits (immediately) and retirement benefits (after you have worked for the company for awhile).

If you work corp-to-corp, you will be an independent contractor and get paid under Form 1099-MISC. In this case, YOU must pay ALL of the FICA taxes and you will get NO medical or retirement benefits.

If you go the independent contractor route, be sure to draw a LARGER paycheck to compensate for the higher taxes you will pay plus the fact that you will need to buy medical insurance.
