Legal Question in Business Law in Virginia

Independent contractor hours

I am an independent contractor for a company and have been for 2 years typically billing approximately 50 hrs a week. This company is now telling me that they have to reduce my hours for a period of three months so I don't look like an employee (to 29 hrs a week). Is this really going to make an difference in how the IRS views me? The company already fails 18 out the 20 factor test for me already.

test for determiming who is an independent contractor and who qualifies an an employee.(You are very obviously an independent contractor and will be treated as such by the IRS.)
