Are you self employed?

Video Transcript

Are you self-employed? Have 1099 income? The IRS pays extra attention to you. Here's how to stay safe and fight back. Self-employed individuals are more likely to be audited, especially if you file schedule C with high deductions or inconsistent income. How do you lower your risk? Separate business and personal expenses. Keep receipts. Avoid claiming 100% business use on vehicles or vague deductions. What to do if you get audited? Don't panic. Gather documentation. Respond on time. And consider hiring legal help to handle negotiations and protect your rights. If you're self-employed and worried about the IRS, call Victory Tax Lawyers at 866938-6918 or visit victorytaxlaw.com.
