📢 Home Health Agency Owners Let’s Talk 1099s & Taxes

If your home health agency works with 1099 independent contractors, tax time looks very different than W-2 payroll and misunderstanding it can cost you 💸 or trigger IRS issues.

Here’s what every agency owner (and contractor) should know 👇

✅ 1099 contractors are NOT employees
✔️ No payroll taxes withheld
✔️ No employer-paid F**A
✔️ Contractors are responsible for their own taxes

💰 How 1099 contractors should pay taxes
• Quarterly estimated taxes (IRS Form 1040-ES)
• Self-employment tax (Social Security + Medicare)
• Federal income tax (and state, if applicable)

📄 Agency responsibilities
• Issue Form 1099-NEC by January 31
• Do NOT reimburse personal taxes
• Maintain clear independent contractor agreements
• Avoid misclassification (this is BIG 👀)

🚨 Common mistakes we see
❌ Paying contractors like employees
❌ No written contract
❌ No 1099 issued
❌ No education provided to contractors

✨ Pro Tip for Agency Owners:
Educating your contractors protects YOUR business.
Clear policies = fewer disputes, audits, and headaches.

Are you an agency owner, consultant, or 1099 caregiver?

Just FYI: If you are in home health care and utilize HHA Exchange, please be advised that there is an outage at this time. HHA Exchange utilized the Amazon Platform for software usage. No need to call the platform, they are already working on it.

If you are trying to obtain a homemaker and companion registration or are already registered with AHCA, here are things to do and not do.

*If you are registered with the State of Florida, be sure not to offer personal care, as this goes against your scope of registration. If you are found to be doing so by a surveyor or are reported, your business can be fined. However, the only way to provide personal care services is to contract with a licensed agency as a homemaker and companion. Otherwise, your company, as a registered entity, will have violated AHCA compliance and regulations.

*A homemaker and companion can provide only homemaking, errands, companionship, light-duty housekeeping, meal preparation, and accompanying clients to appointments.

*A homemaker and companion registrant cannot provide any hands-on services.

☀️If you would like to know more, need policies and procedures to be in compliance, and wish to stay in compliance, please give our office a call at 352.561.8760.☀️
