Andrey you tend to leave out the fact you're illegally classified as a 1099 independent contractor so I'd hope your pay is much higher because your taxes will be too. You may be comfortable with that arrangement and if you are I'm sincerely happy for you. I just feel it's important to inform readers that you don't receive benefits from your employer, more in taxes etc. so your paycheck looks much higher. Please don't feel like I'm attacking you, I don't want a new driver to come along and see your post and expect to be making that kind of money right away.

When you do your taxes this year I'd genuinely be interested to know what you grossed as well as how much of that amount you actually kept if you don't mind sharing.

I would redirect all classification concerns to my employer - it is his decision, and if IRS doesn't like it, it will be his problem as well. The pay on 1099 is higher, that's true, because no taxes are taken. However, when I submit my 1040 and pay all taxes, it should be close. I also do not have benefits, again, it is correct. I didn't mention it not because I tried to hide this information or god forbid mislead anyone, no, I left it out as irrelevant. After all we were not talking about which company is better, but whether it is possible to gross 3k with a fresh license.

I am working right now with a tax advisor. This year is complicated because in addition to my 1099 from trucking, I have a business income from a bakery (an LLC) and two W-2s. But of course, when I'm done with my taxes, I'll share the results.

To be honest as a fellow chicagoan I'm only interested in that bakery part and if there are TT member discounts???

The bakery is in New Hampshire, that is where I live.

Well that's no good. You got my pastry hopes up for nothing.
