I would advise that you work with a CPA on this. I was 1099 for 10+ years working for myself.

There are plenty of write offs available, understanding them is a diff story. Milage, business expenses, home office, internet…all that. BUT, I would hire a professional to help, they will understand what you can and can’t do much fast than you trying to figure it out on your own, trust me.

Remember to pay your estimated quarterly taxes, which are not every 3 months.

Daughter just became independent contractor. Is there a calculator to know how much estimated tax to pay?

Besides deductions look into opening a self-employed 401k. You can shelter a large percentage of your income via one of these. Also, in PA, the only deduction you can take due to the flat tax is a 529 plan contribution. So a combination of these can lower both your federal and PA taxes.

this is not really the place to be asking tax advice, but you can take deductions for the time you were self employed.
