<p>The "old-timers" in this industry seem to think this is okay (to pay by 1099 instead of W-2) despite what the IRS says.</p>

<p>Re taxes...unless you are in a very high income bracket, and/or have another source of income the taxes aren't much...the worst for me are state and local because they don't have any deductions.

<p>Not sure. I guess I'll find out next year. So far I've bought some disposable stuff. I can also write off mileage to training classes, cost of classes, and my ASCP membership. I doubt you will pay any more in taxes than if an employer was taking them out. I'm hopeful even the small amount of write offs will help. I figure I'll put 20-25% into an acct for taxes, just to be safe come next year. </p>

<p>You would have to check your state guidelines, but I am now in this exact situation. I don't get to choose my products, but I get paid a split with no taxes taken out and have to supply my own things like cotton, esthetic wipes, gloves, etc. I thought when this changed I would get to choose the products, but that hasn't happened yet, and possibly may not.

<p>i realize this chat was from a while back but i am in the same situation right now. So would this be a correct, if you are going into a spa that is supplying everything (equipment, clients) it is not legal to be a 1099? or just not a good idea?</p>

Also, if the owner provides everything then what do I write off on my income tax? If I.C r relationship exists between us, should I be able to set my own price, and buy my own liability insurance, and be able to do mobile business on my own time? Also she doesn't even know if she will be providing insurance or it will be on me :/

Cindy, I just got back from my job interview. The owner said she will pay me under 1099. she would get 60% and I get 40%. She provides everything including clienteles but doesn't tell me what to do during application ( the position is eyelash extension technician). She will also provide a fews hours of training before I can start on actual clients. She sets the price and also asked for my work schedule. However, she doesnt tell me whether she is hiring me as a independent contractor or…

She will also provide a fews hours of training before I can start on actual clients. She sets the price and also asked for my work schedule. However, she doesnt tell me whether she is hiring me as a independent contractor or employee. Recall from the interview, it sound that she likes to hire me as a I.C employee. I am new to this and done research on the topic but the more I read the more confuse I would get. I need help asps befoe Monday! You are so right!

<p>You are so right!</p>
<p>I have worked for several places as an "independent contractor" - only ONE place handled it appropriately and paid me as a "commissioned employee".</p>
<p>Currently I work solo in a room rental situation - so don't have the worries that you do right now. I like to do things legally too and always try my best - it gets VERY complicated though.</p>

<p>The way my friend did it was NOT on a commission basis - she charged the IC a "rental" fee for each hour her IC used the room. Overall she was paying just a bit more than 60% - she had the IC's supply product and laundry (or she supplied laundry for a fee), and charged a small fee if the client paid by credit card.</p>

<p>I work for comission for a medi-spa in PA and have taxes taken out of my check, and prefer it that way. I wouldn't like being independent in someone else's place of business, and to have to track what to put aside to cover taxes and such. If I could legally rent a room, I would want to provide and use my own equipment, products, etc. I would find it hard to pay rent for, but not be allowed to run my business the way I wanted. </p>
