As a Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultant or Independent Sales Director, you are the sole proprietor of a business and are considered to be a self-employed or an independent contractor for federal income tax purposes under the Internal Revenue Code Section 162.

The law requires the MK Company to issue a Form 1099-MISC to any Independent Beauty Consultant who, during a calendar year, orders more than $5,000 in wholesale merchandise or receives $600 or more in commissions, prizes or awards.

Preparation fee begins at $175*

How well do you file your financial documents? Are they kept in well-maintained files and folders, or are they thrown haphazardly into a cardboard box in a dark corner of your office?

​

*Having disorganized tax receipts and records will fetch a higher price as it means the preparer has more work to do. Well organized tax documents call for less summarization and management, therefore bringing tax preparing fees down. A good rule of thumb: The more organized you are, the less work that has to be done, meaning a lower cost in the end.
