1099 Season Is Here. Are You Thinking Like a Business Owner Yet?

Nothing screams “New Year energy” like a fresh 1099 landing in your inbox.
Whether 2024 was your first year earning affiliate income—or you’re deep in the game and heading toward six figures—tax season is your yearly gut check. It’s the moment when your side hustle becomes real. When the government acknowledges your grind. When it’s no longer just a little extra cash… it’s a business.
And business owners? They act differently.
1099 season isn’t just about a form. It’s a mindset shift. It’s your nudge to stop thinking like a consumer and start running your money like a CEO.
The Deadline: January 31, 2025 (Don’t Miss It)
The IRS requires all businesses to send out 1099-NEC and W-2 forms by Friday, January 31, 2025.
If you earned $600 or more from Boom Marketing Group—or any other company—you’ll be getting a 1099-NEC.
Here’s why that matters:
- It’s legally required to report. Skip it, and you could face penalties, fees, or audits.
- It’s your earnings proof. That little box of income? That’s your scoreboard for 2024.
- It’s your launchpad. Use it to assess what worked, what needs to improve, and how you’ll move forward financially in 2025.
This isn’t “just paperwork.” This is your receipt of growth.
First Year Getting a 1099? You’re Officially a Business
If 2024 was your first year as a 1099 earner—congrats. Whether you made $750 or $75K, the IRS now sees you as a business entity. It’s not just a gig. You’re in the game now.
Here’s what that means:
- You’ve graduated from side hustle to self-employed.
- You now have access to deductions, write-offs, and tools that W-2 employees don’t.
- You’re not just making money—you’re responsible for managing it like a pro.
It’s time to start acting like it.
3 Big Questions to Start Asking (Right Now)
Let this blog post be your cue to think bigger. These are the real questions smart affiliates are asking today:
💡 What can I write off?
Marketing tools, training programs, travel, software, gear—even part of your phone bill. If it supports your income, it might be deductible.
💡 Am I tracking expenses?
You’ll thank yourself later for keeping receipts, tracking mileage, and organizing those random Venmo charges. Future You wants clean books.
💡 Do I need professional help?
A good accountant is not a luxury—it’s a money multiplier. Even a one-hour consult can change your whole tax year.
You don’t need a business degree. You just need to start thinking differently.
