First of all, let’s get very clear here.
If you receive a 1099-MISC – you do not have wages.

You have a business. You are self-employed and the person issuing that 1099 is your customer or your client.

You will report your income on a Schedule C.

And since you have a business, it’s time for you to look at what you do, where you do it, and what tools you use to make it possible for you to do it.
Many of those things may generate tax deductions. They will reduce the income on which you ultimately pay Social Security and Medicare taxes.
