Expats and/or content creators - PART 3 OF 3
Forms that might need to be file:
  • Form 1040:   Your standard individual tax return.
  • Schedule C (Form 1040): Profit or Loss from Business): Where you report your total self-employment income and deduct business expenses (gear, software, travel).
  • Schedule SE  (Self-Employment Tax): Used to calculate Social Security and Medicare taxes on your net earnings. 
What to Do:
  1. Track Everything: Keep meticulous records of all income (cash, goods, property) and expenses, even if you don't get a 1099.
  2. Expect Forms by Jan 31: Forms 1099-NEC/K should arrive by January 31st.
  3. Report All Income: You must report all earnings on Schedule C, even if under $600 and no 1099 was issued.
  4. Deduct Expenses: Use Schedule C to lower your taxable income by deducting business-related costs.
  5. Consult a Professional: A Tax Professional familiar with creator businesses can help navigate multi-platform income.
