Taxes & 1099 Information

As a Tekyeka provider, you are an independent contractor — not an employee. You are responsible for reporting your income and paying self-employment taxes. Tekyeka sends the required tax forms based on your annual earnings.

1099-NEC Forms

1. 1

   Who receives a 1099-NEC

   • Tekyeka issues a 1099-NEC to any provider who earns $600 or more in a calendar year on the platform
   • If your total payouts for the year are below $600, you will not receive a 1099 — but you are still responsible for reporting that income
2. 2

   When you receive it

   • Forms are sent by January 31 of the following calendar year
   • Delivered to the email address on your Tekyeka account

Your Responsibilities

1. 1

   Report all income

   • You are responsible for reporting all Tekyeka earnings as self-employment income, regardless of whether you received a 1099
   • You keep 100% of your quoted rate — this is your gross income from each job
2. 2

   Track deductible expenses

   • As an independent contractor, you may be able to deduct tools, vehicle use, parts, insurance, and other business expenses
   • Keep receipts and records throughout the year
3. 3

   Pay estimated quarterly taxes

   • If you expect to owe taxes, the IRS requires independent contractors to pay quarterly — April, June, September, January
