How Do Taxes Work as a 1099 Contractor?

As a 1099 independent contractor, taxes are not automatically withheld from your payments.

You are responsible for reporting your income and paying any federal, state, or local taxes that apply to your situation.

Each year, you'll receive the appropriate tax documents to help you prepare your tax return if you meet the applicable reporting requirements.

Because everyone's tax situation is different, we recommend consulting a qualified tax professional if you have questions about estimated taxes, deductions, or your filing requirements.
