When an o/o receives their 1099 for the year, is it supposed to show the TOTAL (meaning gross) the truck made or the TOTAL (meaning gross) the the o/o makes? What I am getting at is this example: Let's say a truck has a billing of $10,000 for the year...the Carrier figures the pay, deducting their 30% for the load, leaving the o/o with a check $7000. The carrier then deducts the other costs (fuel, scales, etc). What number should be on the 1099? $10,000 or $7000? There is a lease in effect with the 30/70 split (omitting FSC in this example for simplicity). I could go into further detail if necessary, but I feel it is a pretty cut and dry question. Thank you in advance for your answers.

You should check with your carrier, but most likely the 1099 will show the total revenue paid to you by your carrier. I would expect that it will be the gross paid before any deductions, such as for permits, IFTA, card fees, etc., Any deductions made to your revenue should be itemized on each settlement sheet.

Here is what the carrier says is going to happen: The 1099 to the o/o is going to be for $10,000 (the total of all rate sheets), the o/o is to file their taxes and deduct the $3000 on schedule C under expenses: commissions and fees. I don't see that $3000 for it to be an expense. I just can't see how this is correct...where is the carrier claiming the $3000 income from the truck?
-
All my 1099's show it "my" % before they deduct fuel,plates,ins, ect. To use your example, both my YTD and 1099 would show 7000.00

Makes total sense.
You earned $13,000. They deducted a little bit each week for "leasing on" with them. That's their "commission and fees". Line 10 on your schedule C.
So that's where those fees go.
You need to sit down and read those tax forms as much as you do the green book and everything else as anO/O -
A little misunderstanding....the total invoicing for the year in the sample is $10,000 (not $13,000); the carrier is saying the o/o is to get a 1099 for that total ($10,000), not the $7,000 (70% that is stated as the o/o compensation in the lease); hence the carrier is not claiming any income in this sample. I understand the $7,000 is not the actual check amount as the fuel, scales, etc are deducted.
-
so you get a 1099 for $10,000.
The principle is the same.
Look at your settlements and those deductions are still a line 10 deduction. -
As long as you have documentation showing that they charged you $3000 it all works out the same. If they are unwilling to provide an invoice for the 3k than you are going to pay an extra grand in tax. Either way would be valid.
-
The 3K is being shown on the settlement>no need for an invoice.
-
I don't see where he said it would be on the settlement, but if that's the case than the settlement would be the invoice for that.
