Hello,
I've been self-employed in most years since 2020, meaning, I get my income through 1099 from multiple clients and file as self employed. This year as well I've also been getting income from paying clients. Normally clients pay me using 1099. However, for whatever reason, one client insisted on paying me using W-2. I'm not working full time for this client and this income is only a fraction of my total income (~$5,000 or so). I'm not getting any benefits from this client.
Only now it occurred to me - would this prevent me from filing taxes as if I'm self-employed? That is, deducting taxes for a home office, etc? I wish I pushed back on the client's request..
Many thanks,
