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.
