Most of this works if you are 1099 but if you are paid by w-2, you can’t deduct any of it anymore. It all falls in the standard deduction amount so unless you have very large medical expenses, nothing is used.
My accountant has told me that I’m not able to write off any of those expense because my adjusting status for the year was a temporary employee and I had received a w2, not 1099. I talked to the independent firm that I work through to see if I could get some of my commissions paid as expense reimbursement and they were unwilling to do that. They explained it to me that the insurance companies were requiring them to have us as W2 employees. Is there anyone with some guidance on this? If that is the case anymore then it doesn’t make sense to do what we do as catastrophe adjusters because we’re not making the money for our time that we once did.
Has anyone else had the same issues?
I think it should be challenged. If they consider us employees and not contractors they need to furnish our computers, estimating programs ladders,etc. When I was a contractor and went through an audit, I was told if I furnish someone the tools i cant treat them as a contractor, i have to pay the taxes on what i pay them as an employee and since i told them what time to be at work that to is an employee. Almost bankrupted our biz. So is companies dont tell us to come to an office or what time to open our computers to start and what time to end our day, we should be contract and get 1099s, not w2.
Dont know about everyone else but not being able to deduct $42,000.00 in hotel bill’s etc is not really fair , but taxes never is we have to adjust to play their game just like the rich do. Tax plan, start a biz related to your work. Have you bought a drone? Give your drone biz a name make it a c-Corp and you pay it when you use it. And make extra money when not on assignment. Iput your hotels etc in the c-Corp name sell your truck to the Corp. Get some of the deductions that are available. Why you think most mega rich own charities they take themoney and the charity pays them 80% of what it takes in and buys cars, planes, boats, etc,pays them a large salary for administration, 10% for advertising and an employee and the needy that the charity was set up for get 10%, if they are lucky. Are they breaking any laws, no not at all. Who set it up that? You guessed it.
So we start a business to help us with taxes, yeah more paperwork, but some better than ever tax deductions.
What applies to a S Corp, C Corp or LLC?
