My question is that my clients sign a contract which states the income per day and the expense costs for company vehicle, insurance, fuel, laundry of work clothes, meals, hotel lodging, tolls, and if supplies are purchased that the client uses. All these fees are added to my 1099 showing total income when 1/4 of the total payments is expenses and supplies. I am being reimbursed for money I spent out of pocket. Why should this be considered income when I pay for all the expenses out my pocket which is then reimbursed and is included in my weekly consulting income.
