Hi, I run a mobile app for food recipes. It generates a small income and I will be paying taxes on it later.
I want to pay my friend for 2 months. One day a week, to trial recipes. Just gig work.
I will only be paying this person about $350 dollars total. Do I have to have them fill out a W-9? And do they have to fill out tax forms?
Can I deduct this expense from my taxes, and if so how do I prove it.
Thank you.
