I work as a subcontractor for a cable company and get 1099ed was wondering what I can write off on my taxes I have a company truck should I do gas or mileage it my first year and never got 1099ed before if anyone can help let me know thank you

OK, think of it as you are in business for yourself, everything you bought just for that work, tools, special clothes, perhaps a laddar. Did you buy insurance of some sort.

Also check out possible depreciation on a work truck if it was used mostly for work ( andyou own it)

The list is not endless but it is so many things.
