1099 Contractor Tax Return Preparation in Commercial Point, OH
If you received a 1099-NEC in Commercial Point this year, the IRS considers you self-employed — even if you only freelance on the side. That means you file Schedule C for your business income and Schedule SE for the 15.3% self-employment tax. The good news: as a contractor, you can deduct business expenses W-2 employees can't. The bad news: if you didn't pay quarterly estimated tax, you may owe a penalty. We handle both sides.

My client didn't send me a 1099. Do I still report the income?+
Yes — all income is reportable whether or not you receive a 1099. The IRS expects you to track your own gross receipts. If a client paid you under $600, they were not required to issue a 1099-NEC, but the income is still taxable. If they paid over $600 and skipped sending one, you still report it.
What expenses can I deduct as a 1099 contractor?+
Any ordinary and necessary business expense: home office, business mileage, professional licenses, supplies, marketing, contractor labor you hired, internet and phone (business percentage), tools and equipment, professional development. Personal expenses are not deductible.
I didn't pay quarterly taxes. How much will I owe?+
Federal underpayment penalty is roughly 8% annualized on the underpayment amount, calculated quarter by quarter. You can avoid it if you owe less than $1,000 at year-end, paid at least 90% of current year tax through withholding/estimates, or paid at least 100% of last year's total tax (110% if AGI over $150k).
