Subject:RE: Off topic - help with 1099 From:Debbie Hemstreet <D_Hemstreet -at- rambam -dot- health -dot- gov -dot- il> To:'Robert Courtney' <Robert -dot- Courtney -at- molinahealthcare -dot- com>, "Tech-wrl (techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com)" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com> Date:Wed, 20 May 2015 08:02:19 +0000
I live in Israel and have a lot of 1099 work here. I've found that Turbo Tax Home & Business, while pricey (in my opinion) is worth the expense. Cheaper than an accountant, and very helpful for getting all my taxes done.
If it can help me with the hassle of dealing with overseas submissions, I'm certain you can use it to help you with your work in the USA. It helps you calculate deductions, and what you have to pay for Social Security as well as Income Tax.
It is only as accurate, obviously, as the data you enter, but assuming you know what you are doing (and if you don't, it gives you links to help, and everything is available on the USA website for income tax for more (confusing) information, details, instructions) -- it will save you the cost of an accountant.
I hope this is helpful.
Debbie
