🧾 Monday Tax Tip for Business Owners (1099 Edition)
If you receive or issue 1099s, this one’s for you 👇🏽
• Received a 1099? No taxes were withheld, so be sure you’re setting aside funds for federal, state, and self-employment taxes.
• Paid contractors $600 or more? You must issue 1099-NEC forms by January 31st to avoid penalties.
• Track your expenses—supplies, mileage, home office, phone, and marketing costs can help lower your taxable income.
• Earn 1099 income year-round? You may be required to make quarterly estimated tax payments to avoid penalties.
• Double-check your 1099s against your records. Income must be reported even if a 1099 is missing or incorrect.
📊 Staying organized now = less stress later.
