1099 Simplified publishes educational articles that explain tax forms, deadlines, deductions, and money tasks common to freelancers and gig workers in the United States. Our goal is to make these topics easier to understand, not to tell you what to do with your own return.

Tax laws, filing rules, and deadlines vary by state, by year, and by your individual circumstances. A guide that is accurate today may not apply to your situation tomorrow, so always check the details that matter to you.

For advice about your specific tax filing requirements, consult a certified public accountant (CPA), enrolled agent, or licensed attorney. They can review your records and explain how the rules apply to you.
