Frequently Asked Questions

A 1099 contractor is a self-employed individual who provides services to a client under a contract. They are responsible for their own taxes, benefits, and business expenses. At the end of the year, clients issue Form 1099-NEC to report payments.

Misclassifying an employee as a 1099 contractor can result in back taxes, penalties, and legal liability. We help you avoid this by ensuring all 1099 engagements meet IRS criteria for independent contractor status.

Typically, independent contractors provide their own tools and equipment. This is one of the factors that supports contractor status. However, specific arrangements can be negotiated in the contract.
