Are more independent contractors charging less due to the poor economy? My sister was getting bids for some interior house painting. The three small businesses were almost fighting for the job (Like price wars). The same thing for her tile work. Many contractors in our area are having to lay off employees and doing the work themselves with family members at reduced bids just to stay afloat. Is it better for an independent contractor to try and get 5 jobs by bidding less thus working harder/more hours? Or 3 jobs at a higher rate thus possibly missing out or making less income by having less work?

How can I figure taxes for an independent contractor in Texas? This is in Texas so there is no income tax. The independent contracter would earn around $600 every 2 weeks with no taxes taken out. I understand that it is best to file these taxes quarterly, however how would the contractor go about filing them, and how would the contractor know how much they will owe so that they can know how much to set aside each paycheck? The contractor also has another job in which they are considered an employee that pays $225-$250 every 2 weeks, however taxes are taken out of this regularly if this matters at all to the independent contractor job

Independent Contractors, Employees, and filing Taxes.? Alright I will be as specific as I can. I have 2 jobs, one as an Independent Contractor, the other as an Employee. I was trying to file my taxes and it said I owed almost $800! I didn't make that much last year but am having a lot of issues trying to file. I tried the itemized deductions but on Turbo tax and H&R Block they said that because I do "independent contracting" work I'm considered self employed and must pay the tax for that. Between both Jobs I only made about $12,000, that's less than a year's worth of my rent. I'm a full time student as well. Also, at the job where I was an employee I worked more hours and made more money then I did as an independent contractor. Let's say $6,100 and $5,900 respectively because they were fairly close. If I paid my taxes as an employee, and I get the refund from that job, how do I go so far into the red because of the Contracting Job? Apparently I don't qualify for a lot of the tax discounts but I'm a renter, I'm 21, I live on my own (with 1 roommate), I am financially reliant on no one, I receive no money from my parents. I received Scholarships in the amount of $850 but that went straight to tuition and I never saw a penny of it. I'm very confused how to handle my taxes because I can't afford to pay almost $800 to the IRS when I make so little a year. I live in California and I realize the deadline is coming very soon. Is there anything I can do? The only thing I can think of is dispute my contractor status and try to force my "employer" to pay for it (It's very complicated but in short I'm only legally a contractor but am treated as an employee). Can someone help me? Sorry, I should've specified. I have one W2 and one 1099-Misc. I also have a 1098-T for School. I didn't realize I was paying almost 8% more on my independent contractor job and ty so much for the link. So... as I mentioned before I'm only an "independent contractor" on paper. I have no other real job expenses associated with it. The lady who issued me the 1099 provides me with everything I need to work with (paper, pens, fax machine etc.) I walk to work, and don't spend any more towards the business. I just go there and get paid. Just like an employee but I get the 1099-misc instead of a W2. Since I have no legitimate expenses involved in being an independent contractor does that mean I'm stuck paying her half and mine? My boss tells us we are "independent contractors" however all that I have read about being an independent contractor vs. being an employee says otherwise. Ex. She makes our hours and we have to request time off like anyone else. She trained us to do everything we do there. We get paid hourly and only minimum wage. There are 8 of us that work there, some have worked there for years, and this job shows no sign of ending anytime soon.

"Independent Contractor" job, how do I figure my own taxes? I am looking at a job where I sell memberships to a site. They label me as a independent contractor so I would have to pay my own taxes at the end of the year. How can I figure out my taxes so I can save enough to be able to pay them? Could I send in my money each check instead of end of the year? Also, would I have to pay my own Social Security? I am a single mother of an autistic toddler, and without a car or approved daycare. I live in income based housing. Would becoming an independent contractor for this company and paying my own taxes hurt me more than help? Advice from those who have done stuff like this is apreciated.

Independent Contractor, Traveling Job...What records to I need to keep? I am fixing to sign a contract with a company. I cannot divulge too much information here, as it is a covert type position (evaluations). My pay will be $800 to $1000 a month, minimum, but the job will require somewhat extensive of traveling to various locations the company owns throughout the state. I assume that basically, all I will have to do is track my meals while working, gasoline expenses, and then ensure I take enough percentage out of my monthly check for taxes. Should I just do actual cost on my gasoline (by keeping gas station receipts) or should I use the CPM? Also, would vehicle maintenance or repairs be something I should track and take off of my "profit"? How about the use of my home office equipment, considering I will be submitting reports online? At this point in time, Independent Contracting is all I will be doing, so I won't have customers buying from me or anything, but I DO have a tax number now. So, anything else I need to know? Thanks!!
I know these "field inspector" jobs exist so where are they and who is seeking help now? I found one Real Estate brokerage firm that needed help in doing evaluations on bank non performing assets by taking photos of the property, etc., but they are needing it done for the FL area and I live in Texas. To help you better understand what I am talking about, I found the ad through Telecraig's site. http://miami.craigslist.org/ofc/430680640.html I am interested in doing this kind of work, but need to know who is needing help. As it is hard to find these independent contractor opportunities and/or jobs. I thought they were called Field Inspectors, but looks like these opportunities are given different job titles, which is not helping me out at all. Is there anyone doing this kind of work or do you know of a company in need of this kind of work? And how much do you get paid per assignment or property visited? Please let me know. Thanks greatly and have a great day. I just found another link, but I used Google with the terms: you will need a car, phone, computer and a digital camera. http://fortmyers.craigslist.org/etc/420934733.html And it's still not in my area. UGH!!!!!!!! Please help!
Does independent contractor wages count when determining unemployment eligibility? I'm reading the eligibility requirements for KY Unemployment, and am a bit confused. It seems that benefits are based on the last 5 quarters of employment, excluding the current quarter. I started my job in July 2007, and got let go in June 2008 - this would count as 3 quarters, right? With the exception of a few independent contractor jobs (mystery shopping), I did not earn wages in from Jan-July 2007. Will I be denied eligibility? ** I did claim all independent contractor wages on my 2007 taxes

Unemployment benefits and Independent contractor question? Ok, lost job due to the economy, and after job searching for weeks it seemed as if it would be a WHILE before I find a job within my field. So... I started working for myself, as an independent contractor and i do promotions, and you're considered to NOT be an employee of those promotion agencies... and you get a check in like 4 weeks.... and they are WAY under $600. My promo agencies said they had girls to lose jobs and said its okay to still work just as long as u dont make over $600. Cuz then they will have to give you a W2 when tax time comes. And IRS will know u worked. QUESTION: Should I report these earnings when I claim weeks?? Will i lose unemployment benefits?? Or will they subtract when I made out of the unemployment benefit?? I've only done 2 so far. **Also this is not considered a REAL job, you only get to work for like 1 day, for about 6 hours, for an hourly rate and you get your check in the mail in 4 weeks later, and thats it. And you look for another one. Some promo jobs go for 2 or 3 days... and i signed up for one going for 5 days. Then after that, you're done, and its time to look for another independent contractor job/promotion. And in my city they don't come around often enough for me to just rely on promo jobs to pay bills til I get Job. Should I report the earnings? What about the 2 that I already did? (didnt get the money yet still waiting a few weeks).

Am I considered an independent contractor or an employee? Ok I have a new question for ya'll. I am considering the idea of hiring a attorney on a problem that I am having. The problem is that my boss calls us independent contractors, and pays non of our taxes. Instead we are suppossed to pay our taxes at the end of they year with a 1099 form and we dont get or use a w-2. The problem is that I think I am a employee and not an IC. He tells me when to be a work, where to do my work, how to do my work, and when to stop working. He provided a traing class for me and the others instructing us on how to do the job, the way he wanted it done. Now I thought that an IC gets to set their own schedule, doesnt work when they dont want to, and they are doing the job the way that they want to. He pays us with a buisness check, like cash, pays none of our taxes, such as social security, or federal, and he made us sign only one document at the time of hire. That was a document waiving our right to workmans comp. What do you all think? IC or employee in AZ?
As an independent contractor, what can I use as a deduction come taxes next year? Could I deduct my car payment? Can I deduct any services to my car, such as oil changes or new tires? I know I can definitely deduct the gas/mileage I use while on the job. Do I need to keep track of how many miles I drive each day for my job? Also, should I keep my receipts for gas? Can I deduct the food I buy while on the job? Please, if any of you are aware of even the smallest things that I should be keeping receipts for, please let me know. I am 21 years old, unmarried, and without children. I am working as an independent contractor, just started a few days ago. I will make about $12500 for the next 6 months remaining in 2006. How much should I set aside to pay taxes next year? I will be doing a lot of driving for the job, so do the deductions that come along with driving for the job make a huge difference? I am worried that I will be stuck with a rather large payment next year and just want to be adequately prepared. Thanks in advance for your help.
