Hi @KnotMo and thanks for the question!
So if you are a 1099 NEC contract employee, you are a self employed individual in the eyes of the IRS. As long as you are not reimbursed for meals or equipment, you will be able to deduct these on your tax return. You'll want to have proof of what you purchased and how much you paid for it. For most things this means keep your receipts! Keep in mind there may be other expenses you can deduct. Do you have to take any courses to learn how to use the latest and greatest tools or how to use the computer that's part of your equipment. Do you have to pay for your travel? Any money you spend on your business may be deductible and is worth tracking.
I hope this helps!
