questions for remote closers

Income

How much tax do closers owe on 10k a month?

A closer earning $10k a month, $120,000 a year, on 1099 typically owes roughly 25% to 30% in federal tax before state tax. Self-employment tax alone is about $16,955 on $120,000 of net profit, with federal income tax on top depending on deductions and filing status.

→

How do high ticket closers pay taxes?

High ticket closers paid on 1099 pay taxes as self-employed businesses: report gross commissions on Schedule C, subtract business expenses, pay 15.3% self-employment tax on the profit via Schedule SE plus federal income tax, and send the IRS quarterly estimated payments on Form 1040-ES instead of having taxes withheld.

→

Do remote closers pay self-employment tax?

Yes. A remote closer paid as a 1099 contractor pays 15.3% self-employment tax on net profit from commissions, covering both the employee and employer halves of Social Security and Medicare. It applies once net profit reaches $400 and is calculated on Schedule SE, on top of regular federal income tax.

Can closers write off sales training and coaching?

Yes. A 1099 closer can deduct sales training, coaching, courses, and masterminds that maintain or improve skills in their existing closing business, as ordinary and necessary expenses under Section 162. Training that qualifies you for a brand new trade, taken before you have closing income, is generally not deductible.

→

Are commission clawbacks tax deductible?

Yes, effectively. A clawback in the same year the commission was paid simply reduces the income you report, so you never pay tax on it. A clawback repaid in a later year is deducted on Schedule C, and repayments over $3,000 may qualify for the claim of right rules under IRC Section 1341.

→

Forms

Are remote closers independent contractors?

Usually, yes. Most remote high ticket closers are engaged as 1099 independent contractors: paid straight commission, free to work multiple offers, and responsible for their own taxes, including 15.3% self-employment tax. Classification legally depends on the IRS control tests, not the label in the contract.

→

Quarterly

Do closers pay quarterly estimated taxes?

Yes. A 1099 closer who expects to owe $1,000 or more in federal tax for the year must make quarterly estimated payments on Form 1040-ES, due April 15, June 15, September 15, and January 15. With 15.3% self-employment tax on commissions, almost any serious closer crosses that line.

→

Entity

Should a remote closer form an S corp?

Maybe, once net commission profit consistently runs well past a reasonable salary for the work. An S corp lets a closer take part of profit as distributions free of the 15.3% self-employment tax, but requires payroll, a defensible salary, and a separate return, elected by filing Form 2553.
