About This Site

Getting a 1099 shouldn't be confusing. But the IRS rules are written for tax professionals, not for the freelancer or gig worker trying to figure out what they owe and when.

We built 1099 Easy Guide for everyone who earns income as a contractor or freelancer — gig workers, consultants, side-hustlers, and anyone who has received a 1099 and isn't sure what to do next. Our goal is simple: explain your forms, your deductions, and your taxes in plain English.

What we do

Every guide on this site is written in plain English, reviewed annually for accuracy, and focused on practical action — not theoretical tax law. We explain the rules, show you the math, and give you a calculator that does the heavy lifting.

What we're not

We are not a tax firm, a CPA, or a financial advisor. The content on this site is educational — it helps you understand your obligations and make informed decisions. For advice specific to your situation, especially complex cases involving business structures, multiple income streams, or significant assets, please consult a qualified tax professional.

Accuracy and updates

Tax rules change. We review all content annually and update it for each new tax year. Every page displays a "Last reviewed" date so you always know how current the information is.
