A resource for independent workers.

1099Freelance is the practical tax and business resource for freelancers, gig workers, independent contractors, and the growing millions of Americans who don't work on a W-2.

Who we write for

Designers, developers, writers, coaches, consultants, Uber and DoorDash drivers, Etsy sellers, photographers, and anyone else who gets paid on a 1099-NEC. The common thread: you're running a business, even if no one ever told you that.

What we believe

• Tax and business info should be free, direct, and written like a real person is explaining it.
• Every freelancer should know their deductions cold — that's tens of thousands of dollars over a career.
• A good calculator beats a 3,000-word explainer.
• Affiliate links should be honest. We only link to products we'd recommend to a friend.

How we work

Articles are drafted with the help of AI and reviewed against IRS publications and professional sources before publishing. We refresh popular guides as rules change. See our editorial standards for details.
