How to Use Your Last Paystub to File Taxes

Filing taxes can be a daunting task, but understanding how to use your last paystub can simplify the process. Whether you're an employee or a freelancer, your paystub contains crucial information needed to complete your tax return. In this blog, we'll walk you through the steps of using your last paystub to file taxes and highlight some useful tools like a paystub generator, 1099 MISC Form, and more.

Understanding Your Paystub

A paystub provides a detailed breakdown of your earnings and deductions. Key components include:

Gross Earnings: Total income before any deductions.

Net Earnings: Income after deductions.

Federal and State Taxes: Amounts withheld for tax purposes.

Social Security and Medicare: Deductions for social security and Medicare contributions.

Other Deductions: Any other deductions such as health insurance or retirement contributions.

Steps to File Taxes Using Your Last Paystub

1. Gather Your Paystub and Relevant Forms

Before you begin, ensure you have your last paystub of the year. You may also need other documents such as the 1099 MISC Form if you're a freelancer or independent contractor.

2. Review Your Paystub

Check that all information is correct, including your gross and net earnings, tax withholdings, and any other deductions. If you notice any discrepancies, contact your employer or use a paystub generator to create a corrected version.

3. Calculate Your Total Income

Use the gross earnings listed on your last paystub to calculate your total income for the year. If you have multiple jobs, add the gross earnings from all your paystubs.

4. Enter Information into Tax Forms

Transfer the information from your paystub to the appropriate tax forms. For employees, this is usually the W-2 form. Freelancers will use the 1099 MISC Form.

5. Deductions and Credits

Review any deductions or credits you may be eligible for, such as educational credits, retirement contributions, or health savings accounts. Ensure these are accurately reflected in your tax return.

6. File Your Taxes

You can file your taxes online or via mail. If you’re using a tax software, it will guide you through the process, ensuring all information from your paystub is correctly entered.

Navigating Tax Season: Deciphering the 1098 vs. 1099 Forms

For small business owners, tax time often descends like a fog, obscuring the clarity of financial records and demanding sudden mastery of arcane IRS forms. Among these, Form 1098 and Form 1099 stand out as essential instruments for recording and reporting various financial transactions. Understanding the distinctions between these two forms is crucial for ensuring compliance and accurate reporting. In this comprehensive exploration, we will demystify the differences between Form 1098 and Form 1099, providing you with the knowledge to sail through tax season unscathed.

Form 1098: A Mortgage Interest Report

Form 1098 is a document issued by lenders indicating mortgage interest payments made by a taxpayer over the course of the year. It is crucial for homeowners who seek to claim deductions for mortgage interest on their federal tax returns. This form can also be applicable to small business owners who utilize real estate within their operations.

What Does Form 1098 Cover?

Form 1098 covers reported interest payments on a mortgage including if a taxpayer paid more than $600 in interest during the tax year. This form is essential, as it enables taxpayers to minimize their taxable income by claiming deductions on their mortgage interest.

Who Receives Form 1098?

The borrower of a mortgage receives Form 1098 from their lender, which could be a bank, credit union, or mortgage company. It's imperative for the lender to provide a copy of Form 1098 to both the borrower and the IRS.

Form 1099: Diverse Vendor Payments

Form 1099, on the other hand, is a more versatile creature. It covers a broad range of payments made by businesses to vendors, contractors, and freelancers. This form is used to report various types of income not found on W-2 forms, which are typically used for salaried employees.

What Does Form 1099 Include?

Form 1099 encompasses several different types, each representing a specific category of income. The most common types of Form 1099 include:

1099-NEC for non-employee compensation

1099-K for payments received through card transactions or third-party networks

1099-DIV for dividends and distributions

1099-INT for interest income

1099-MISC for miscellaneous income

Who Receives Form 1099?

Entities that pay $600 or more in the course of their trade or business to an individual or unincorporated business must issue a Form 1099 to those recipients as well as report the information to the IRS.

Key Differences Between 1099 and 1098

We can now turn to the principal distinctions between 1098 and 1099 forms. Knowing these differences is vital when categorizing payments or recording mortgage interest for tax purposes.

Purpose of Each Form

Form 1098 is specifically designed to report mortgage interest, facilitating the deduction process for homeowners. It has a clear and narrow purpose.

Form 1099, on the other hand, is broader in scope. It's multifunctional, covering a variety of transactions ranging from rental income to prizes and awards.

Information Provided

Form 1098 shows deductible mortgage interest—this amount is detailed and includes the mortgage loan principle, aggregate of real estate taxes, and any points you paid during the tax year.

In contrast, Form 1099 provides a wide array of information depending on the specific 1099 type, ranging from compensation to interest and dividends.

Recipients of Each Form

The 1098 form is solely for individuals who have paid or received mortgage interest. It is not issued to businesses or for services rendered.

Form 1099, however, can be issued to any individual who has received reportable income from business transactions, regardless of whether they are an employee or contractor.

Reporting Timeline

Typically, businesses are required to provide 1099 forms to recipients by January 31. For Form 1098, the deadline is the same as for the IRS filing, typically the following February 15.

Utilizing Forms 1098 and 1099 for Small Business Success

For small business owners, the effective use of Forms 1098 and 1099 can be a strategic part of their financial management. Whether leveraging the mortgage interest deduction to reduce personal taxable income or properly reporting various streams of income through Form 1099, these forms play a vital role in tax liability.

Understanding and attention to detail when dealing with Form 1098 and the various 1099 types can ensure that you are not only compliant but also making the most of any available tax benefits. Engaging with knowledgeable tax professionals can further enhance your tax season experience, allowing you to focus on the growth and success of your business.

In conclusion, these seemingly arcane forms—1098 and 1099—align with critical elements of personal and business financial transactions. They offer both the relief of tax deductions and the rigor of detailed income reporting. By ensuring you understand their roles and applications, you will arm yourself with the knowledge necessary not only to survive but to thrive during tax season.

OP's description of how to walk a teenager through using a computer sounds shockingly similar to when I have to walkthrough or explain almost anything on a computer to my elderly boss or his wife, which is crazy because they're coming from the opposite end of the experience spectrum. Kids right now are growing up on a very different sort of system that they can use to interface with the internet, while the elderly have had to scramble to keep up with home computing for the last few decades, and many simply do not care to know how to use it.

The business we run is in real estate (and taxes on the side,) which is ever increasingly being moved online and out of paper and hardcopy documents. He can navigate his email and if something is a hyperlink and straightforward he can mostly figure it out, like podcast pages, but that's about it. His knowledge of how to operate a computer has not caught up to using tabs in a browser, for instance, which converted over in like, the early-mid aughts, because no matter how many times I tell him he can close out a tab, he closes the entire window. He knows I can login to the email when he does, but he doesn't really know what that means, because originally you needed software like Outlook to access email. "On the internet" and "on the computer" crisscross often in how he thinks file access works. If I'm at home, I can access a document he saw on an email but I can't access a file on the work computer, and sometimes he remembers that and other times he doesn't. He doesn't know how to navigate a file system afaik or operate a search engine because he's never, presumably, had to before with any regularity. He types on his keyboard like he's typing on a typewriter, a typewriter he still uses to fill out W2s and 1099 MISC forms.

It know it sounds like I'm just picking on a tech-illiterate old man, but to hear that OP has to tell 15 year olds the same sorts of things that you would hear from IT help calls when I was in highschool is completely culture shock to me. I always had this conception about computers that it was like the shore to the ocean and we were moving in one direction, from the shore of no common knowledge of personal computing out into the ocean of further diversified and growing computing tech and the bar of understanding continuing to increase along with it, but now I'm learning there's MORE SHORE on the other side??? I don't know maybe I'm just crazy out of touch or something.

So this was originally a response to this post:

****

****

Which is about people wanting an AO3 app, but then it became large and way off topic, so here you go.

Nobody under the age of 20 knows how to use a computer or the internet. At all. They only know how to use apps. Their whole lives are in their phones or *maybe* a tablet/iPad if they're an artist. This is becoming a huge concern.

I'm a private tutor for middle- and high-school students, and since 2020 my business has been 100% virtual. Either the student's on a tablet, which comes with its own series of problems for screen-sharing and file access, or they're on mom's or dad's computer, and they have zero understanding of it.

They also don't know what the internet is, or even the absolute basics of how it works. You might not think that's an important thing to know, but stick with me.

Last week I accepted a new student. The first session is always about the tech -- I tell them this in advance, that they'll have to set up a few things, but once we're set up, we'll be good to go. They all say the same thing -- it won't be a problem because they're so "online" that they get technology easily.

I never laugh in their faces, but it's always a close thing. Because they are expecting an app. They are not expecting to be shown how little they actually know about tech.

I must say up front: this story is not an outlier. This is *every* student during their first session with me. Every single one. I go through this with each of them because most of them learn more, and more solidly, via discussion and discovery rather than direct instruction.

Once she logged in, I asked her to click on the icon for screen-sharing. I described the icon, then started with "Okay, move your mouse to the bottom right corner of the screen." She did the thing that those of us who are old enough to remember the beginnings of widespread home computers remember - picked up the mouse and moved it and then put it down. I explained she had to pull the mouse along the surface, and then click on the icon. She found this cumbersome. I asked if she was on a laptop or desktop computer. She didn't know what I meant. I asked if the computer screen was connected to the keyboard as one piece of machinery that you can open and close, or if there was a monitor - like a TV - and the keyboard was connected to another machine either by cord or by Bluetooth. Once we figured it out was a laptop, I asked her if she could use the touchpad, because it's similar (though not equivalent) to a phone screen in terms of touching clicking and dragging.

Once we got her using the touchpad, we tried screen-sharing again. We got it working, to an extent, but she was having trouble with... lots of things. I asked if she could email me a download or a photo of her homework instead, and we could both have a copy, and talk through it rather than put it on the screen, and we'd worry about learning more tech another day. She said she tried, but her email blocked her from sending anything to me.

This is because the only email address she has is for school, and she never uses email for any other purpose. I asked if her mom or dad could email it to me. They weren't home.

(Re: school email that blocks any emails not whitelisted by the school: that's great for kids as are all parental controls for young ones, but 16-year-olds really should be getting used to using an email that belongs to them, not an institution.)

I asked if the homework was on a paper handout, or in a book, or on the computer. She said it was on the computer. Great! I asked her where it was saved. She didn't know. I asked her to search for the name of the file. She said she already did that and now it was on her screen. Then, she said to me: "You can just search for it yourself - it's Chapter 5, page 11."

This is because homework is on the school's website, in her math class's homework section, which is where she searched. For her, that was "searching the internet."

Her concepts of "on my computer" "on the internet" or "on my school's website" are all the same thing. If something is displayed on the monitor, it's "on the internet" and "on my phone/tablet/computer" and "on the school's website."

She doesn't understand "upload" or "download," because she does her homework on the school's website and hits a "submit" button when she's done. I asked her how she shares photos and stuff with friends; she said she posts to Snapchat or TikTok, or she AirDrops. (She said she sometimes uses Insta, though she said Insta is more "for old people"). So in her world, there's a button for "post" or "share," and that's how you put things on "the internet".

She doesn't know how it works. None of it. And she doesn't know how to use it, either.

Also, none of them can type. Not a one. They don't want to learn how, because "everything is on my phone."

And you know, maybe that's where we're headed. Maybe one day, everything will be on "my phone" and computers as we know them will be a thing of the past. But for the time being, they're not. Students need to learn how to use computers. They need to learn how to type. No one is telling them this, because people think teenagers are "digital natives." And to an extent, they are, but the definition of that has changed radically in the last 20-30 years. Today it means "everything is on my phone."

2025 1099 Filing Simplified: Avoid Mistakes and Stay Compliant

Filing 1099-MISC and 1099-NEC forms correctly in 2025 is essential for tax compliance. This article breaks down the rules, deadlines, and filing processes for businesses that pay independent contractors or issue miscellaneous payments.

It's tax time again! Speaking of taxes…

A certain writing world Twitter/X troll once suggested that I "don't have to worry about the IRS". Admittedly, that's TECHNICALLY correct, but only because my IRS enrolled agent dutifully reports my income from my art (which is most definitely a business, NOT a hobby), files a tax return including my income from my art, and makes sure I pay income and self-employment taxes. Not to mention, I also receive 1099-MISC forms covering my royalties from certain sites, these forms being included when my tax returns are filed.

I think telling someone running a creative business that they "don't have to worry about the IRS" is bad tax advice. I prefer to get my tax advice from my IRS enrolled tax agent. As for the claim that my art business is truly a "hobby", according to the definition of a "business" on the IRS site, a business "includes any activity carried on for the production of income from selling goods or performing services".

I'm not making this up: https://www.irs.gov/charities-non-profits/definition-of-trade-or-business

How to Report Oil and Gas Royalties on Tax Return

How to Report Oil and Gas Royalties on Your Tax Return

Oil and gas royalties are a source of income for many landowners and mineral rights holders, but they can also be a bit complicated when it comes to reporting on your tax return. Whether you're a mineral rights owner or a partner in an oil and gas business, it's essential to report royalties accurately to avoid issues with the IRS. This article will walk you through the process of reporting oil and gas royalties on your tax return, including key information you need to know, the forms to use, and how to handle deductions and expenses related to royalty income.

What Are Oil and Gas Royalties?

Oil and gas royalties are payments made to the owner of mineral rights (such as landowners or mineral rights holders) for the extraction of oil, gas, or other minerals from their land. Typically, these royalties are paid as a percentage of the revenue from the sale of the oil or gas, and they can be received in the form of cash or as a share of the production itself.

Since royalties are considered income, they must be reported on your tax return, and depending on your specific situation, the income may be subject to both federal and state taxes.

Step 1: Gather Your Documentation

Before reporting your oil and gas royalty income, it’s essential to collect all the necessary documents. Some of the documents you may receive from your royalty payer include:

Form 1099-MISC: If you receive royalties of $10 or more, the company paying the royalties should issue a Form 1099-MISC (Miscellaneous Income). This form reports the total amount of royalties you received during the year.

Schedule K-1: If you are part of a partnership or business that involves oil and gas production, you may receive a Schedule K-1 from the business. This form details your share of the partnership's income, deductions, and credits, including royalty income.

Lease Agreements: Keep copies of any lease agreements you have with the oil and gas company that show the terms of your royalty payments.

Statements from Operators: You may also receive monthly or annual statements from the operators of the oil or gas wells detailing the amount of production and royalties paid to you.

Step 2: Report Royalty Income on Your Tax Return

Once you’ve gathered all your documentation, you’ll report your oil and gas royalties on your tax return. Here's how you do it:

For Individual Taxpayers (Self-Employed or Sole Proprietors)

Form 1040: You will report your royalty income on your individual income tax return (Form 1040). On the form, you will report your income under "Other Income".

Schedule E (Supplemental Income and Loss): In most cases, oil and gas royalties are reported on Schedule E (Part I) as part of Supplemental Income. This is where you’ll list income received from royalties from oil and gas leases. You’ll use the income shown on your Form 1099-MISC or other documents you receive to fill in this section.

Line 1: Report the total royalty income on Line 1 of Schedule E.

Line 3: If you have expenses related to the oil and gas property, you can deduct them here. These might include operating expenses, management fees, or any costs incurred in the extraction of the oil or gas (which would be documented by your operator or business).

Schedule C (Profit or Loss from Business): If you are actively involved in the operation of an oil or gas property (i.e., you are a self-employed individual), you may need to use Schedule C to report royalty income as part of your business income. This is typically applicable if you are directly involved in drilling or other operational activities and you have expenses associated with that operation.

For Partners and Members in Oil and Gas Partnerships

Schedule K-1: If you're a partner or a member of an oil and gas partnership, you will receive Schedule K-1, which reports your share of the partnership’s royalty income. The income is typically reported in Box 2 of Schedule K-1, which will be included in the total amount of royalty income you report on your Form 1040.

Form 1040: As a partner, you will report the amount from Schedule K-1 on your Form 1040 under "Income" from a partnership or business. This may require you to file Schedule E as well, where you will enter your share of the partnership’s royalty income.

Schedule C: If you are actively engaged in the business and the royalties are part of a business activity, you may report them on Schedule C in the same way as an individual running an oil and gas business.

For Oil and Gas Working Interest Owners

If you have a working interest in an oil or gas operation, where you are involved in the drilling and production process, your income will be considered business income, and you will likely need to report it on Schedule C (or Schedule F for farming operations). This means you would report both your royalty income and any associated business expenses (such as drilling or operating costs) on the schedule.

Step 3: Understand and Apply Deductions

When you report your oil and gas royalty income, you may be able to claim certain deductions and expenses related to the property, reducing the taxable amount of your royalty income. These deductions can include:

Depletion: The IRS allows for a deduction called "depletion" on oil and gas income. This deduction accounts for the reduction in the value of the mineral resources as they are extracted. There are two types of depletion:

Cost Depletion: This applies if you own the minerals outright and can deduct a percentage of the cost of the property each year based on how much of the mineral resource has been extracted.

Percentage Depletion: This is available to independent producers and royalty owners, and it allows for a deduction based on a percentage of your gross income from the property (up to a limit). This is a common deduction for oil and gas royalties.

Operating Expenses: If you have any costs related to the operation of the oil or gas property (such as maintenance, management fees, or transportation costs), you can typically deduct these expenses from your royalty income.

Property Taxes: If you pay property taxes related to the land where the oil or gas is being extracted, you can typically deduct these as well.

Step 4: Pay Estimated Taxes (If Necessary)

If your royalty income is substantial, or if you are self-employed, you may need to pay estimated quarterly taxes to avoid penalties at the end of the year. Use Form 1040-ES to calculate and pay estimated taxes on your royalty income. Make sure to keep accurate records of your income and expenses throughout the year to ensure your estimated tax payments are accurate.

Step 5: File Your Tax Return

Once you’ve reported your income, applied any deductions, and ensured that all the necessary forms are filled out, you’re ready to file your tax return. Be sure to double-check your forms and income statements before submitting your return to avoid any discrepancies that could lead to penalties or audits.

Conclusion

Reporting oil and gas royalties on your tax return may seem complex, but with careful documentation and the right forms, you can ensure that you’re in compliance with IRS regulations. The key is to gather all relevant documents, report your income accurately on Schedule E or Schedule C, apply any allowable deductions like depletion, and file your return on time. If you're unsure about your specific situation, it's always a good idea to consult with a tax professional who can help you navigate the intricacies of royalty income and ensure you're maximizing your deductions.
