What To Know When Working As A 1099 Contractor 

Cleared up a lot of stuff about my "contract" work--ha! Can now make it work better for me--thanks.

I have a second job that I'm a independent contractor for. It's all commission based and I have to use my own vehicle. I deliver raw goods at 65% com. So I figure say I get a 100 dollar job, I get 65 bucks. Now that 65 gets taxes at roughly 30% for state and fed plus social security and all so I walk away with maybe 40 bucks. I've realized it's not worth it.

Thank you this was an excellent video very simple being a 1099 employee scares the piss out of me I don’t wanna get in trouble with the IRS for not putting away quarterly taxes , etc. I just told this young lady that you have to put money away or you will get in trouble with the IRS.

The time you start would not disqualify you in a lot of work as a 1099 because a lot of work requires you to perform during certain hours. That is very dependent upon the market you work. Imagine a doctor who is only going to work when no patients are around. Or even a construction contractor who will only work wherever the construction site is not located. Where you perform and when you perform can be very important to the actual work. If you just need to write up a paper and deliver it by x date then sure you can type it whenever you want, wherever you want as long as it makes it by that date.

1099 document every paycheck, also keep trac of all of your interactions with your boss and when they fire you, you have all proof that you were working directly for somebody that decided to 1099 your ass and can be entitled to unemployment benefits and sue their ass if you get hurt on the job

Hi; do you know if 1099 contractors (US based) can work remotely wherever they want in the world (assuming the contractor hires the right professional to file/pay taxes in the various countries they've worked in)? I'm speaking from the perspective of a person that wants to be nomadic, perhaps living in say 2-6 countries outside of the US for half of the year.

I am a 1099 employee if that's even a thing. He tells me my hours days and is always telling me how to do the job and I always use his equipment. I also do not get breaks and I feel like a W-2 employee. I also had a day where I had my sick dying mother in the hospital and he told me I would lose mt job if I didnt come in I haven't had one day to myself because I work weekends as well. I feel like I'm getting screwed can you help?

What percent would you recommend putting away for taxes at the end, everything included? Thanks! z

Thank you for a very well explained video I now understand that my husbands boss is screwing him over

Disabled people are working self employment and sometimes the other business wants to pay a disabled per hour with 1099.

Great Job

Can my work change me from a normal employee to 1099 over nite and me not have any say in it? I’m in CA

So as a 1099 contractor wouldn't you need to file estimated taxes throughout the year? I would think that *not* paying estimated taxes and then just paying a huge lump sum at tax time would incur penalties at some point.

Thank you this is a great video

Dam I think im screwed

What does a sole proprietor do with a 1099 from a service i.e. square for POS purchases from customers? Thank you!
