Are You Ready to File Your Independent Contractor Tax Forms?
You probably think you are ready to file because you have received a 1099 for your services, held on to all your receipts, and have all your documents in order.
This is the sixth installment of
Independent Contractor Taxes…Know Your Options.
It can be downloaded from our eBook library.
It seems like everything is falling into to place with your Independent Contractor status. Once you file your Independent Contractor Tax Forms, it will be smooth sailing!
Wrong! Have you…
… done all of your homework?
- First – did you determine your independent contractor status based on The Internal Revenue service three categories factor test?
- Second – are you aware of the different outcomes when it comes to how you pay your taxes? Do you know the benefits that are available?
- Third – have you sat down with a tax and/or legal professional to review your individual situation?
Being self-employed or classified as an independent contractor is not something to be taken lightly. There are many options and pitfalls out there that can be a benefit to you and/or trip you up if not planned for correctly.
It is so important to understand exactly what your options are, and to know what taxes need to be paid and which tax forms filed. You can eliminate the stress of getting a notice this year you owe thousands of dollars in tax, when in the previous years you received thousands of dollars back in tax refunds.
Meeting with a tax professional sooner than later can give you “peace of mind” with no surprises. Over the years, I have had to explain too many times to surprised tax papers why they OWED thousands of dollars.
