The employee can then see how their annual wage and amount of income taxes that were withheld when they receive their W-2 tax form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A W-2 is often referred to as an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/forms-pubs\/about-form-w-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u201cinformational return\u201d<\/a> because that\u2019s exactly what it does: informs the employee and other parties about how much they earned that year, and the amount of state and federal taxes taken out of their pay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The differing methods of filing taxes is one of the biggest distinctions between employees and contractors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>But how?&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While it\u2019s true that contractors and freelancers often perform the same tasks as their employee counterparts, they are offered much more flexibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So how do contractors exactly operate?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Independent Contractors<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ugb-container ugb-container

like legalese, a sole proprietorship doesn\u2019t require any paperwork and essentially begins when you start business by yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You, the contractor, should complete a W-9 right when you start working for a company to provide them with your information.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After that, you\u2019ll receive a Form 1099 at the same time employees would receive their W-2 forms following the end of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Simply put, contractors and freelancers are offered more wiggle room in how they perform their responsibilities, and this includes how they manage their taxes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once the distinctions between these two types of workers are

class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is a W-9 Form?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s start with the basics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A W-9, or Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification, is quite literally a single-page IRS form that you as an independent contractor fill out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It will provide the company you work for with your taxpayer identification number (TIN), which may be a Social Security Number or an Employee Identification Number (EIN).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This form typically <em>does not <\/em>get sent to the IRS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rather, you can simply send it back to the organization that requested it, who will file your information in case of a discrepancy and for verification purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The information you\u2019ll provide in a W-9 is fairly simple and similar to a W-4. It includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Your name<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Home address<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Business address (if applicable)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Taxpayer Identification Number<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The type of business you operate (sole proprietorship, partnership, LLC, etc.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, you\u2019ll have to state whether you are subject to backup withholding, which is a method the IRS uses to ensure that it collects taxes on income.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Note: <\/strong>You are only subject to backup withholding if you provide an incorrect TIN or fail to report other types of income.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After you send the business you are working for your W-9, they use the information you\u2019ve provided to send you and the IRS Form 1099-MISC, which states just how much income you\u2019ve made in the past year while working for that company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is technically no deadline for filling out a W-9, but it\u2019s important to send it to the company you\u2019re working for as soon as possible in order to get paid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ugb-divider ugb-divider ugb-a70dbf2 ugb-divider--v2 ugb-divider--design-basic ugb-main-block\"><div class=\"ugb-inner-block\"><div

class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Form 1099-NEC?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When tax season approaches, millions of people and businesses simultaneously sigh at the sight of a 1099 form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even more puzzling, businesses who used independent contractors were required to fill out a 1099-MISC form <strong>prior to 2020.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The reason the 1099-NEC was brought back after decades was largely due to the Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes (PATH) Act that changed the due date of Form 1099-MISC to January from the previous February 28 deadline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unsurprisingly, this caused mass confusion, so the IRS separated the reporting of payments for nonemployees to better distinguish the deadlines.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, the reintroduced 1099-NEC form solely reports \u201cnonemployee compensation\u201d &#8211; that\u2019s <em>you, <\/em>the independent contractor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While these forms look jarring at first glance, they are fairly simple to tackle when you break down its components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>1099-NEC is completed by the company<\/strong> that received your completed W-9.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Business owners that hire you (the contractor) must file the 1099-NEC <strong>once they pay you over $600.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A 1099-NEC is used to inform workers how much income they received over the last year.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The form is sent mainly to freelancers, independent contractors or <strong>anyone who is technically self-employed<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Think of it this way:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The biggest difference between a 1099-NEC vs a W-2 is that the first one is for contractors, and the second one is for employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, just like any other tax form, it is absolutely essential that you make sure all the information on your 1099-NEC is correct, as the IRS uses it to certify that your reported income is accurate and truthful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each 1099-NEC will typically include the following information:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Your name<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your address<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your TIN<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Name, address and TIN of the business who sent you the form<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Total amount of self-employment income you received in Box 1, which is likely subject self-employment tax<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The amount of federal or state income tax withheld, if any<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s essential to have an understanding of 1099s in particular as research has found that 1099s grew 15% between 2000 and 2008, that\u2019s even before companies like Uber existed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moreover, in 2014 there were a reported <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mercatus.org\/publications\/technology-and-innovation\/evaluating-growth-1099-workforce\">91.1 million 1099s that were filed<\/a>, which is a 22% increase since 2000 according to market-oriented research think tank Mercatus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While this number represents the amount of \u201cgigs\u201d rather than freelance workers, it\u2019s safe to say that the future of the workforce is one that focuses heavily on freelancers and contractors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although there is yet to be an analysis of what this number will look like following the chaos that was 2020 and the amount of gig jobs that were embraced during this time, it can be assumed to have skyrocketed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And while some critics have blamed the gig economy for the decrease in traditional work, Mercatus found that the growth of the 1099 workforce is actually a <em>result of<\/em> traditional labor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ugb-divider ugb-divider ugb-15b3da8 ugb-divider--v2 ugb-divider--design-basic ugb-main-block\"><div class=\"ugb-inner-block\"><div

class=\"wp-block-heading\">Differences Between A W-9, 1099-NEC, and 1099-MISC<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So let\u2019s break down the on-page differences between a W-9 vs a 1099-NEC vs a 1099-MISC..<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The W-9 that collects tax information from you, including your name, address, and TIN, while the 1099-NEC reports the compensation you, a nonemployee, received in the last fiscal year to the IRS.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 1099-MISC form is simply used to report miscellaneous income, and its updated version no longer features non-employee compensation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Previously, Box 7 was used to report payments made to contractors, but it is now used to report the sales of consumer products $5,000 or more for resale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You, the contractor, are required to fill out the W-9 and return it to the organization that you are doing work for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the W-9 is submitted only one time as you start working for a company, the 1099-NEC is required to be sent to you by January 31 annually at the beginning of tax season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Businesses fill out the 1099-NEC as soon as you send invoices that equate to more than $600. Then, the 1099-NEC is sent to both you and the IRS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ugb-divider ugb-divider ugb-be25c94 ugb-divider--v2 ugb-divider--design-basic ugb-main-block\"><div

W-9<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now that you can distinguish the role of a 1099 versus a W-9, filling out these forms can be a breeze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You still may be wondering \u201cWhat do I write for a W-9?\u201d If you\u2019ve ever been a full-time employee, a W-9 is very similar to a W-4.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Better yet, it\u2019s barely one-page long and overall pretty simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First, the company should have already filled out the business name and its Employee Identification Number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After that, you will go line by line and fill out personal information that is pretty self explanatory. <strong>It will look something like this:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image

Thanks to their flexible nature, LLCs are extremely common across various industries.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The goal of an LLC is to protect the owner (or owners) with limited liability. This simply means that if the business accrues any debts or faces any lawsuits, you are not personally responsible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For instance, if your LLC is facing a lawsuit, debtors cannot collect your personal assets (your home, banking, car, etc.) They are quite literally limited to only collecting your LLC\u2019s assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">LLCs are ideal because practically anyone can start one, from a one-person operation to a business with multiple co-owners. However, this varies by state so it\u2019s important to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alliancevirtualoffices.com\/virtual-office-blog\/the-importance-of-using-a-virtual-office-when-setting-up-a-business\/#eight\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">check what your local laws say<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">LLCs are able to file as a corporation, sole proprietorship, or partnership, while LLPs must file solely as an LLP.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An LLP is a common partnership among professional firms such as lawyers, architects, accountants, and the like. Using an LLP provides partners with additional legal protection and allows them to share management responsibilities, but also allows an individual to be not liable for their partners\u2019 potential errors or mistakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the key distinctions between an LLC and an LLP is that an LLP must have two or more partners. But again, some states require LLCs to have more than one partner as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, both LLPs and LLCs give the owner or owners a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nolo.com\/legal-encyclopedia\/what-is-a-limited-liability-company.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">pass-through taxation<\/a>, which simply means any of the profits or losses your company accrues passes through to the owner\u2019s personal tax return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, before you make any major business decisions, consult a tax advisor to figure out which would best suit your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another measure you can take to protect yourself as a freelancer, contractor without a physical office, is to look towards adopting a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alliancevirtualoffices.com\/virtual-office-blog\/benefits-of-using-a-virtual-office-for-business\/\" target=\"_blank\"

contractor, it is also wise to always keep a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/pub\/irs-pdf\/fw9.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">blank copy of a W-9<\/a> on your computer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remember, there is a huge difference between a W-9 vs a 1099 vs a W-2, so keeping track of all of your tax-related forms is crucial for an organized contractor or freelancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This allows you to easily connect and network with new clients, while helping you keep track of which organizations you are currently providing services for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ugb-divider ugb-divider ugb-dde4d91 ugb-divider--v2 ugb-divider--design-basic ugb-main-block\"><div

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now that you have a grasp on the difference between a W-9 vs a 1099, filing your taxes is hopefully less headache-inducing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Regardless if you\u2019re a contractor, freelancer or small business owner, having a full understanding of what you\u2019re entitled to is critical to any well-oiled operation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Having the appropriate resources in tow can help you stand apart from competition, while also giving you the confidence to expand how many clients you provide your services for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Being part of this agile workforce can feel confusing and sometimes even lonely, but knowing how to advocate for yourself during tax season can help you establish yourself as a true professional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Further
