Your NIL Tax Checklist
GET READY FOR TAX TIME!
Reporting your NIL income just became easier with the help of The Model Accountant.
Gather all your documents:
- Form W-2: This form reports income earned and paid to students by your employer.
- Form 1099-K: This form reports payments received from credit cards, debit cards, stored value cards, payment apps, and online marketplaces (third-party payment networks).
- Form 1099-MISC: This form reports the FMV of payments received from gifts or free products with a total value of more than $600.
- Form 1099-NEC: This form reports payments made to the student on a self-employed or contract basis with a total value of more than $600.
- Access your social security number
- Prior year tax return
- Receipts from NIL business expenses
Determine your filing status:
- Are you filing single, head of household, or married filing jointly?
- Will a parent or guardian claim the student on their taxes? If a parent or guardian provides more than half of the student’s living and essential expenses, then they can claim the student as a dependent.
