Feel cheated by 1099

I get upset w/ Drivers that sign on w/ these type of Company's when they don't understand what their getting themselves into. 1099 jobs are all around us, they are what they are..

I prefer those type of jobs over employee type, as a independent Driver you determine when you will or wont work,

 

white Volvo= 1099?

 

Even if you did sign a contract. YOU are not a contractor. First they supply all the equipment, pay for all operating expenses. Good luck.

Topic 762 - Independent Contractor vs. Employee
For federal employment tax purposes, the usual common law rules are applicable to determine if a worker is an independent contractor or an employee. Under the common law, you must examine the relationship between the worker and the business. You should consider all evidence of the degree of control and independence in this relationship. The facts that provide this evidence fall into three categories – Behavioral Control, Financial Control and the Relationship of the Parties.
Behavioral Control covers facts that show if the business has a right to direct and control what work is accomplished and how the work is done, through instructions, training or other means.

Financial Control covers facts that show if the business has a right to direct or control the financial and business aspects of the worker's job. This includes:

• The extent to which the worker has unreimbursed business expenses
• The extent of the worker's investment in the facilities or tools used in performing services
• The extent to which the worker makes his or her services available to the relevant market
• How the business pays the worker, and
• The extent to which the worker can realize a profit or incur a loss

Relationship of the Parties covers facts that show the type of relationship the parties had. This includes:

• Written contracts describing the relationship the parties intended to create
• Whether the business provides the worker with employee-type benefits, such as insurance, a pension plan, vacation pay, or sick pay
• The permanency of the relationship, and
• The extent to which services performed by the worker are a key aspect of the regular business of the company

For more information, refer to Publication 15-A (PDF), Employer's Supplemental Tax Guide, or Publication 1779 (PDF), Independent Contractor or Employee. If you want the IRS to determine if a specific individual is an independent contractor or an employee, file Form SS-8 (PDF), Determination of Worker Status for Purposes of Federal Employment Taxes and Income Tax Withholding. For information on eligibility for a voluntary program to reclassify your workers as employees with partial relief from federal employment taxes, visit Voluntary Classification Settlement Program (VCSP) on IRS.gov.

You knew you were going to be on 1099 before you started working so don't act like you didn't know what was going on. Don't be a rat now that you see it isn't working for you. Just move on to another company

 

Hopefully by now you have some more options, start calling around to find what your looking for. as for me I like those type of jobs that pay 1099, I go in expecting to be payed more then that of a regular driver to compensate for the employer match a business does for it's employee's and vacation time and bonus's I feel I would deserve.

 

Oh jeez again

 

I'm on 1099 and I'm pretty much my own boss as a result. I pick my loads, deal with the broker on my own, do my logs legally on my iPad and email them, no extra legal bs,etc..Which is fine with me........

Using state per diem pay for DOT related activities seems to be a bit on the wild side, I was told this by two people, one is my old accountant (who was an EA) and the auditor. They both said to take the standard per diem because if the IRS starts to take a look at your logs, they will find things about how long you were actually out for and take some days away just for the aggravation.
