Hi agtt5,
Thank you for your questions today. Congratulations on your successful business!
When you have an independent contractor do work for you, you will want each individual to complete and submit to you a Form W-9 for your records, https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw9.pdf.
You will issue a Form 1099-NEC to each independent contractor depending on the amount you paid them , according to the IRS filing requirements. https://www.irs.gov/faqs/small-business-self-employed-other-business/form-1099-nec-independent-contr...
The amounts you pay to independent contractors will be a business expense, Contract Labor, that you will report on your Schedule C, along with your business income and business expenses. The good news is this is a deductible business expense, which will lower your self employed profit, and lower your taxes.
I hope you find this information helpful. Have a great day!
Connie
