Why Choose 1099

Built for Independence

A Gross Rate You Manage

A 1099 contract carries no employer payroll tax, no employer-funded benefits and no employer malpractice cover. What the rate is worth to you depends on what you fund yourself, so model it before you sign.

Tax Treatment

Deduct qualifying business expenses and contribute to a retirement plan of your own. The IRS sets the rules and the limits, so confirm them for the current tax year.

Schedule Control

Set your own hours, work with more than one client, and control your patient volume.

Clinical Autonomy

Choose your clinical focus, treatment approach, and patient population.

Multi-Client

Contract with several practices at once to diversify your income streams.

LLC Protection

Operate under an LLC for liability protection and business tax flexibility.

FAQ

1099 NP Questions

What is a 1099 NP position?

A 1099 NP works as an independent contractor rather than a W-2 employee, and receives a 1099-NEC form instead of a W-2. You set your own schedule, pay your own self-employment tax, and fund your own benefits and malpractice coverage. The rate a listing quotes is a gross rate with none of that attached.

What do 1099 NP roles pay?

12 of 28 listings state an annual salary. A median appears once at least 5 listings from 3 employers do, with no single employer above 40% of them. Until then, compare pay listing by listing. Nationally, nurse practitioners earn a median annual wage of $132,300 (BLS OEWS, Nurse Practitioners (29-1171), median annual wage, May 2025). A 1099 rate is quoted gross, so model self-employment tax, health insurance, malpractice coverage and retirement contributions before you compare it with a W-2 offer. The 1099 versus W-2 guide on this site works through that comparison.

What are the tax advantages of 1099 NP work?

Independent contractors can deduct qualifying business expenses, which commonly include a home office, mileage, professional development, malpractice insurance, health insurance premiums, retirement plan contributions, equipment and professional memberships. The rules and the limits are set by the IRS and change between tax years, so confirm them with a tax professional.

Should new graduate NPs take 1099 positions?

A W-2 position that names mentorship, malpractice coverage and benefits is usually the better first role. Independent contracting asks for clinical confidence and the business discipline to invoice, insure and file for yourself, which is easier to carry once you have practised for a while.

What do 1099 NPs need to set up?

Independent contractors commonly form an LLC or PLLC for liability protection, obtain individual malpractice insurance, open a business bank account, obtain an EIN from the IRS, register for quarterly estimated tax payments, open a retirement plan such as a SEP-IRA or Solo 401(k), and arrange health insurance. Confirm what your state and your contract require before you sign.
