What state? If CA then 100% W-2. It is really based on the state because the state is the only one that will audit them. It is 1099 till the "employee" complains to someone or the employer gets caught.

It is my understanding there are agents today, working in offices where they take the application but the GA is listed as the WA. The GA is invited to award ceremonies, presented plaques and goes on fancy trips.
He takes the kudo's while the grunts do the heavy lifting.
It depends on the level of control.

They are definitely providing tools. How much control does the GA have?
A worker can ask the IRS to officially determine whether the worker is an independent contractor or employee by filing form SS-8 available at the above link.

IRS code outlines a list of questions that would determine a W-2 agent. That said, if you signed a contract with the GA, it's possible that you are a 1099. Read the contract. If no contract, then follow the IRS questions to determine your W-2. I know some GA's have solicitors working in their office. As a Solicitor, you're still a 1099 but all your commissions and any renewals are assigned to the GA.
