How are taxes handled?

As an independent contractor using the NW Maids platform, you are responsible for filing and paying your own Federal and State income taxes. NW Maids does not withhold any taxes on your behalf. If you have questions about filing your taxes, please consult a tax professional.

In compliance with the IRS, all NW Maids professionals who have earned  $600 or more are considered eligible and will be issued a 1099 tax document. If you did not meet this threshold, you will not be issued a 1099. 

• Those who are eligible will receive an email from Square on or before January 31st to create or sign in to their Square account to download their 1099. NW Maids does not email any 1099 documents. If you have any questions, please check out Square' FAQ.
• Those who received the 1099 via Square electronic delivery were not sent a hard copy and can still login to their Square account to download and print the tax document if necessary.
