The new year comes with new Tax Compliance issue.

Every firm that you preformed  more than $600 of work for will be

required by law to issue a 1099 -W-2 or K-1 to you and the IRS.

Ignoring these forms will only cause you more money and trouble over time.

The IRS is slow when is comes to enforcement, but we are in the computer times

and with mandatory E-filing of these form finding you is almost a certainty, 

and then the penalties and interest will be very severe.

Remember, the 1099 & K-1 are for reporting gross earnings. Under the laws of the IRS

you're allow to write-off any expenses incurred in producing these gross earnings.

For .e.g. if you are a Uber driver, the cost of your car, insurance, gas etc are all expenses

which can be deducted from your K-1 earnings and thereby reduce your taxes.

Saving all your expenses receipts are a good start. They can be saved in a digital form

which is now accepted by the IRS. The self-employed or freelance communities are always

seeking ways to save, but when it comes to your Tax Compliance, getting professional help

might pays for itself and save you money.
