Best Answer

Yes you are required to file a tax return as a self employed taxpayer when you are being treated as a independent contractor (not a employee with an employer).

You will need to report that income, and any related expenses, on Form 1040, Schedule C, Profit or Loss from the Business operation, or you may qualify to use Form 1040, Schedule C-EZ, TO determine your Net Profit from the Business operation. You will also need to use the Form 1040, Schedule SE, Self Employment Tax form to compute and report your social security and Medicare tax on the net profit from the business operation.

For instructions and forms go to the IRS gov web site and use the search box for publication 334 Tax Guide for Small Business a very good place to start with examples

Publication 463 Travel, Entertainment, Gift, and Car Expenses

Use the search box at the IRS gov web site for Small Business and Self-Employed Tax Center

How many days does it take to get tax return if there was an error?

only way there can be ab error is if your employer says you made more or even worse you made less. here is an example:you work all year and make 30K and file taxes yourself and prepare an estimated return it gets sent to your employer and the employer rejects your tax return not the IRS.the best part is if you are self employed as long as you pay taxes you can file taxes moreover, if you do not pay a sales tax at the cash register you are not qualified for a tax return and it will kick back in error.in closing if you have error then i suggest you use a pre audit tool such as quicken or turbo tax so that you will know if you are guaranteed and is passes the error check.

How do you assess child support when mother is paid cash?

Whether she is paid cash or not there should be papers on how much she earns a month. She still have to pay taxes so her income should be no secret. And when she gets the money I would think she would have to sign a receipt. When in court she would have to show these papers. The child support is usually based on the income so cash or not there should be no difference.
