You might find the IRS Topic 762 - Independent Contractor vs. Employee
useful at:
http://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc762.html
It says it was updated in October this year so hopefully any ACA impacts
have been applied. Some links to pdf docs provide expanded info.
However this tends to approach the issue from the other end: if you
provide certain benefits like medical insurance you are (probably) an
employer not whether the law says you have to provide such benefits.

However, sometimes the people you think are independent contractors
actually aren't (determined by audit or by filing a request with the IRS
and/or your state). As I understand it, if these people are determined
to be employees, then you are an employer and the rules about providing
health insurance plans for part- and/or full-time employees apply to
you, whether or not you've incorporated.

IMHO. You would presumably be doing business as a sole proprietor and
not as a corporation and would hire them as independent contractors,
then I think the answer is no, because their contract will bestow no
employment benefits. But I am not an attorney, so I'd consult my local
friendly employment lawyer.

This (finally) leads to the question I want to ask. Let's assume that
I as an individual hire 500 people to work for me. I do not
incorporate; I just hire them individual to individual. Does anyone
know if the law requires me to provide health insurance for them?
