For the other 1099 contractors out there, any thoughts on other strategies for what to do with your tax money besides a high yeild online savings account? My Barclays account is 1.50% interest.

Trying to avoid paying an accountant, can I actually write off home office space/mileage if I was just permalancing for 3 months last year? Shouldn’t the 7 months of W2 take care of this 1099 shit?
