It depends. If your new contract calls for you to receive checks that are not paychecks and do not have any payroll withholdings deducted, then you are treated as a self-employed businessperson. This usually requires a two-year history of being self-employed. If, however, you are paid via a paycheck that would result in you receiving a W2 at the end of the year, then you would be considered an employee. Usually, a W2'd employee does not result in an underwriter calling for a copy of the contract.
