I’m not supposed to be 1099

I left a toxic employer back in July, started a new job quit after 3 weeks and in august I started my current job. I really like the job I have. It’s 5 mins from home( in my area most decent jobs are 1hour plus away), not toxic and I can get off if needed. The downside is I’m 1099 instead of a w2. The problem is I’m not 1099 applicable, my tax lady told me my employer is basically committing tax fraud and that he is screwing us by having us pay taxes that he should be paying. I brought up us going to w2s and he said he would like to try to start w2 at the first of this next year. I will give my boss the benefit of the doubt because he did just start the business this year and it has grown rapidly this year.…

The problem is I’m not 1099 applicable, my tax lady told me my employer is basically committing tax fraud and that he is screwing us by having us pay taxes that he should be paying. I brought up us going to w2s and he said he would like to try to start w2 at the first of this next year. I will give my boss the benefit of the doubt because he did just start the business this year and it has grown rapidly this year. He has added aflac coverage and we don’t have to pay. Is this something I should just walk away from or should I ride this out. Out side of the tax thing I’m less stressed then I have been in years. I do currently set back 25% of my check for taxes. I apologize for any grammar errors I’m not the best with terminology
