I recently got laid off and my previous firm just reached out to me to inform me about a client whose rate was too late on a commercial level but they might be interested in me to work as a contractor

They’re paying $10k for the automation (I’m still not sure about the details and about how small or big it is) but should I take this opportunity and work on 1099?

If it sounds like something you’re interested in, why not? The 1099 mainly comes into play when you’re completing your taxes as they’re not automatically deducted... might shrink some of the typical refund depending on how you handle that portion.

Keep job searching in the mean time 👍🏼 good luck!

One last thing, the government is basically paying you as a 1099 “un-employee” as well, unemployment will come in a 1099-G for income tax purposes... I recommend having them take the taxes out as you go along as it can add up with a few 1099s. They’re not tracking a date range, you just can’t withdraw over 6 months/year and they just want their taxes 👍🏼
