Tax Prep - What is 1099?
It’s tax season! Whether you are new to being a 1099 contractor, or you’ve been self-employed your whole career, it’s always a good idea to review what your tax status is and how it works. Advanced Funeral Planners at Precoa are 1099 contractors. You receive a 1099-MISC tax form from Precoa for your previous year’s earnings. IRS.gov has a lot of resources available for 1099 contractors. If you want a basic refresher on how taxes may work for you, check out this PDF: 1099 worksheet_2023.pdf.

How to Qualify for Escapes
Did you make it on the Thailand trip? Are you setting your sights on next year’s destination? Make sure you know how to qualify for Precoa Escapes trips, and how to earn points for business between February 1, 2023 and January 31, 2024.
You can earn:
- One award point for all single pay sales (including EPOs) at age 76 and up and all TIs (+1 bonus point for Home Visits)
- Two award points for all other sales from national leads (+1 bonus point for Home Visits)
- Three award points for all other sales from local lead sources (+1 bonus point for Home Visits)
- 5,000 award points for each OAP membership sold
- Minus any chargebacks—If you’re charged back dollars, you’ll be charged back the proportionate number of points to match the new policy value. Chargebacks after the qualification deadline will be applied to next year’s incentive trip point total. *Unique rules apply for some funeral homes including Selected Services; please confirm with your manager if you have any questions.
You must earn a minimum of 1,500,000 points by January 31, 2024 to qualify for the trip.
