1099 & Mileage Reimbursement

[kennethhoff]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? North Carolina

I have been offered a 1099 contract at the company I have volunteered for. It is for a renewable monthly amount, not to exceed that amount each month. As a 1099, I am wondering if I am still allowed to bill for gas mileage reimbursement? Or before I even sign the contract, can I ask for that to be part of the contract? or do I even need to?

Thanks

This is not a legal question. Of course you may ask. They aren't required to accept.

I agree. I will also add that you will need to keep a very good mileage log, because that reimbursement would be included in your 1099 income, and you would need to take a deduction for the mileage on your schedule C.

You will also be able to deduct the mileage on your schedule C, even if they do not reimburse you.
