hey everyone !
new member here,
im hiring my first VA and was wondering if anyone knows of the tax implications/ beneficial deduction and writeoffs at the end of the year.
i heard using upwork i dont have to file a 1099, but can i still deduct the cost of the VA as a business expense.
or can i choose to pay via paypal good and services ? because if i go through paypal would the IRS characterize over 600$ a year as an employee or independent character if the VA is from overseas.
confused about the taxes, please help, lol
