Employee vs Independent Contractor Tax Differences | W-2 vs 1099
In this video I compare the tax differences between being taxed as an employee vs. an independent contractor being taxed as a sole proprietor as well as an independent contractor electing to be taxed as an S Corporation. You'll learn how much more you should ask for in pay if considering to be treated as an independent contractor.

Excellent job! Every home in America should have an LLC owned by a Trust. You can add Self Directed Solo 401k, Roth IRA, and HSA. ALL SELF DIRECTED so you keep more of that money and pay no taxes.

You’re welcome….thanks for the feedback!
Worst is when you’re a 1099 and they treat you like a W-2, dress code, when to show up, and how and what to do.

That’s a labor law violation and that deserves a lawsuit
Great content John, but I think you should place more emphasis on the business expenses (utilities, food, travel, car payment, insurance, cell phone, etc.) that dramatically increase savings through the s corp structure. Additionally, what about distractions and corporate dividends? Isn’t that income that can be taxed differently?
Appreciate the information sir.
Thanks man
Wow such a good explaination

Thanks Alireza - glad you found it helpful!
Excellent video! Thanks. Are there any situations in which a worker would end up paying LESS tax as an independent contractor, than if they were earning the same amount of money as an employee?
An LLC also has to pay liability insurance which is quite a bit- esp. in construction.

Yes - definitely something to consider!
Please can you share the excel you used to digest it again myself?
Why is federal income tax rate is so different for John as employee and John as sole prop? I’m a little bit confused here, did you just assume there are some expense that reduce the total 120k tax liability?
I am trying to figure this out. I am an employee and the company I am with won't do a 1099. Unfortunately.. I'd be interested to know more on what things a W2 Employer could do to reduce their taxes.
Does croporate tax prsn needs w2 or 1099
Liked commented subscribed. Great content
This is great content; however, if one works as an Independent Consultant (1099) and or Corp 2 Corp as an IT/Digital Consultant, most firms would pay more per hour or day than one would receive as a Permanent/Full-time Employee. I see you mentioned that at the end of the video, but I would be interested in seeing more on that bit if that makes sense. Cheers

Yes, your question/comment makes sense. It really depends on how much value you assign to the benefits being offered if you were a W-2 employee. For example, if you have a spouse, and that spouse is an employee working somewhere with great health insurance, you can join their plan. Conversely, if your not married or your spouse's employer doesn't have health insurance, then you have to go shop for that yourself and maybe pay $1,000/month for it.
Hey, Thank you for video! very informative. I hope you can answer this question and it makes sense. I make about $70k as a contractor through W-2. Would I save money on taxes if I created an LLC C-corp? It seems that I would, my employer does not pay health care, milage, retirement or PTO. I basically just get paid for what I do and they take taxes out instead of me having a 1099.

Hey Stefan....appreciate your question but too much to try and figure out via KZread comments. If you want, you can schedule a Q&A session with me on my website and we can chat about it.
Hi, I make around 92k year, my boss wants to pay me something like 60% of my salary on W-2 and 40% on 1099. So is it good for me as an employee or I shouldn't do it ??
Also you don't get workers comp if you take sub contractor route
Hi, is the S-Corp distributions taxed? And if so, is it at the W2 employee's tax rate?
I'm freelancing for a tech company as a Project Manager...they're hiring me as a 1099 instead of a W2 employee. I am getting paid hourly and yearly I will be earning $300K working regular a regular 40 hour week. What would you recommend I do? this is the first time I'm working as a 1099 contractor any recommendations will be totally appreciated. How can I hire you?
If I don't remember anything else in this video, I'll remember "don't wish for it, work for it"
Thanks for the clarification ! can a person have 2 jobs at the same time ? one on 1099 and other on W4?

I think you meant one on 1099 and other on W-2…yes, you can have both. Be sure to watch my video on this topic related to W-2 and small business.
Currently I gross 42.50 /hr as contracted and net 39.00 / hr. In 3 months I will be a full time convert. I will have to ask for 55.72 /hr to make the same money due to increase in taxes? Does that mean I will have to ask for around 60/hr?

Hi Herbert...a little confused by your questions. Are you going from contractor to employee or from employee to contractor? Either way, every scenario is slightly different so it will be difficult to answer here. If you want to, you can go to my website and schedule some time for us to talk through your scenario.
Trying to dip my toes into 1099 basis. Wondering if you offer tax consultation

But why aren’t you mentioning the many many deductions that you can get from being an independent contractor 🙁

That’s what I’m saying. What about deductions…
What about retirement contributions? I’m gonna get double pay.
Super confusing why John and spose pay income tax of 25.9K as full time employees, but only 19.2K as independent contractor. How does that work??? Why would the federal income tax decrease as independent contractor?
How is 1099 even legal? It’s a complete ripoff for the employee
It’s.. December is it too late to file LLC Paperwork?

Hey Melissa....Its no longer December but if it still was, I would likely advise you that it is too late. Watch my video about "when" to form an LLC etc. and it will help clarify this for you.
Damn... so I would need to make $150k as a contractor to break even with my current full-time employee job at 105k
Adding the spous made it confusing

Sorry - most people who ask me this question were married. In the future, I may do one without a spouse. Don't let the spouse income confuse you....it's just that whatever the spouses salary is in the video ($60k) would reduce the amount of federal and state income taxes paid. Focus more on the social security and medicare tax savings, those taxes would be the same with or without a spouse.
I know this material slightly dated but the concepts are still the same I would say that you need to have a multiple of 2.15 just to be safe that way you're covering your taxes
@NaviMarajCPA
2 жыл бұрын
Hey there....is the 2.15 multiple you are referencing related to hourly wage as an employee? To use an example, if you're earning $20/hour as a W-2 employee, you should ask for $43 ($20 x 2.15) an hour as an independent contractor?
I'm working agency work 12week contract apparently i quit working after 2 weeks working because unpaid me payday because they didn't pay me I'm only earned $2000 one time payment can I still take home without paying tax pls need explanation before I submitted my forms

Simplemente no trabaje 1099 porque el empleador carece de fondos. O simplemente no te valoran a ti ni a tus habilidades.
