Self-Employment
There are trends emerging following COVID that could impact your taxes. If you were one of the millions that became self-employed in 2021, whether it was due to the Great Resignation or you joined the Creator Economy, remember you will receive a Form 1099-NEC Filing your income of $600 or more, but even if you don’t receive a Form 1099-NEC Online you should remember to report your income. Also, don’t forget expenses directly related to self-employment like your start-up cost, computer equipment, website fees, and home office expenses, which can reduce your taxable income.
Digital Nomads
With the capability to work from home or anywhere, millions of people took that accurately and have taken off on adventure in vans, exploring the great outdoors with nothing but wi-fi and the open road. If you were able to keep your 9 to 5 while traveling the open road, there are some tax insinuations if you’ve been living in different states, even temporarily. Most states will require you to pay taxes in other states besides your home state where you made money after 183 days (or just over 6 months). But there are some states with give-and-take agreements so someone isn’t on the hook to pay taxes in two states.
Financing
If you were one of the millions who took advantage of the unstable market and started investing, remember you only have to pay taxes when you sell your stock or crypto currency. Also, you can counterbalance your gains with the losses you have. You can also offset your ordinary income like wages with up to $3,000 in losses. Check out our Crypto currency communicating Calculator to get an estimate of your capital gains or losses on your cryptocurrency transactions.
