Hi, besides my full time job, I consult on my spare time. So when I file income I take deductions for costs associated with my consulting work (a percentage of my internet access, % of phone bill, etc..).
As my consulting work expands I want to outsource part of it to a friend abroad. Can I take deductions for his work as I would for a US worker? Do I need to do anything differently? For example, do I issue a 1099? By the way, my consulting work is done as a independent freelancer, I don't have a company.
I would really appreciate any help here.
Thanks
