This is W2 only. Big corps are very averse to dealing with anyone acting as a one-man independent contractor. When I worked for BigCorp, we would laugh at one-man shops that don't have employees, insurance, or an office outside of their residence - they have no chance at getting paid work except as W2 through an agency or as a permanent employee.

I agree this work can only be done though W-2s but I heartily disagree with your assessment of "big corps" and one-man shops. Times have changed a lot and people that work at home as sole proprietors can certainly land paying clients from large reputable companies.
I have been a freelancer for 15 years and am actually more respected in my field now that I'm home. I am smart enough not to have additional overhead, I am more flexible, and I don't put wear and tear on my clients' equipment. Sure, some companies may laugh when they find out it's just me but the majority appreciate and recognize that smaller is better.
