is there a fine line between what can be considered an employee vs an independent contractor? Is there a check list as to what is considered an employee, or is it just up to what the employer chooses?

As a sole proprietor, what is the best option for employees? Ill put into context, I am going to be running a basketball program and want to pay my coaches a monthly "stipend". Would this be best done through an independent contractor type thing?

How does paying coaches by independent contract work factor into my taxes?
