The main benefit of being an independent contractor is freedom. Other benefits include tax benefits.
The employer has the responsibility for filing the 1099 Tax Form and not the independent contractor. If you are the independent contractor, you do have the responsibility of making sure that you have kept records of your income and that you do not under-report them. For the employer who does not file the appropriate form, they will receive a fine from the IRS. There are employers who do not want the IRS to know they have hired independent contractors. But it is illegal for them not to report. Both sides should keep dependable records.
Ask the Contractor an if they don't know it is time to find a competent contractor.
No. They are counted as "estimated tax payments" which is line 63 on tax form 1040.
Form 1099 is a tax form that has to be completed by anyone who pays an independent contractor during the course of his business. This information can then be cross-checked to ensure that contractors are declaring all of their income to the IRS.
When you work for a company, or an individual for that matter, as an independent contractor, and earn income of $600 or greater, they are required by law to provide you with a Form 1099. You will use this form as you would a W-2 when you file your Form 1040 to the IRS at tax time. When you are ready to file, you will see a line on the Form 1040 that asks you if you have any other income. This was line 21 on the 2009 form. Depending on the work on your circumstance, you may also be required to file schedule C, CZ, E, F, or Form 4835. I recommend consulting a tax professional before filing your tax return. Good luck!
Anyone who has done any work and been paid for independent contractor work needs to fill out a 1099 misc tax form in order to be taxed properly by the IRS.
Not as a sole proprietorship, independent contractor or self employed taxpayer. You would have to use the schedule C of the 1040 tax form for this purpose. If your Business is incorporated or a entity with it's own tax ID, then you will have to file separate business income tax return.
The best way to give a to an independent contractor is to wrap it nicely put your contact information and then send it to him.
Your income and expenses should be reported on Schedule C of Form 1040.ANSWER: Are you a licensed contractor? If you are then you were made to go obtain a Taxpayer Identification Number or 'TIN' in order to obtain that license and as such the above answer is applicable. If you are not licensed by any state to do business how you see fit then you do not have a "TIN" to identify yourself as one who has been made liable for any income tax and subject to any income tax law. If you are not identified by your own voluntary assessment as a taxpayer as specifically defined in the code then what makes you think you are liable for any tax that require you file a form?
Because you are not having tax withheld you may have to file estimated tax payments quarterly. For specific information see: http://www.irs.gov/publications/p505/index.html
