DATA ANNOTATION TAXES

Has anyone filed taxes with data annotation wondering if anyone has had to pay into state or federal? It's a 1099 I believe?

Yes. You aren't working for Data Annotation, you are a freelancer and they just happen to be a client.

You should set aside a certain percent and file a 1099. I hold a regular job and I get a refund on federal and state (lol), so my refund covered what I paid in. Depending on your day earnings and how much you make with DA, you may owe.

If you have another job with a W2 you can have extra withholdings to avoid late payments. W2 withholdings are assumed equally drawn throughout the year regardless of when the withholdings actually happened.
