Getting a 1099??

Hello everyone.

I have come questions and concerns about 1099. I have always had taxes taken out of my check and recieved a w2 at the end of the year. I'm new to the 1099.

I am almost certain I will be starting a over the road job soon if everything goes well and it's paid cent per mile, 1099. Home weekly or by choice I can stay out longer. I will drive their truck, they pay for everything and schedule the loads.

Am i considered to be a independent contractor ?
Do I need a business license or LLC ?
Can a daily meals be a tax deduction while out on the road ?
What else can be deductible in this situation?

I've read on here that I'll have to pay taxes quarterly and to find a good experienced cpa. Anyone got recommendations on one ?
Should I set 25% of my weekly income aside for taxes or more ? I have 5 kids and wife and get back a good chunk at the end of the year so this might be beneficial I would think.

 

Due to my driving record most companies wont hire me. I've applied to companies for over a year just to be denied over and over again. My rollover 13 months ago has limited my choices to say the least

 

Thank you sir. I actually got denied by carolina Logistic a few days ago. As soon as i told them about my rollover they said no

 

On the first page of this thread a gentleman sent me a link to a craigslist posting. That's the job that accepting me.
Since that day I've been on craigslist for wv and the surrounding states calling and filling out tons of applications. I'm getting tons of call back and emails.

 

Thank you sir. The plan is to work with the company for 2-3 years tops until I gain more experience and and that rollover not haunt me as bad. 2-3 years of recent driving will help me find a better job. Would eventually like to buy a truck and have my own authority
