According to usage
1) If you are going to descripe something that is long-term , then you shall use hyphen
2) If you are just going to descripe the term with long .. so it is a long term ... no hyphens

Wuxxler has it completely backwards.
Long-term, when used as an adjective, is hyphenated.
"In it for the long term" doesn't need one, because "long" is the adjective describing "term."

Either is correct, depending on usage:
"I am in this for the long-term"
"Is the the long term parking area?"
(USA usage, others may vary...)
