You can purchase material at the Contractor State License Services. If you don't want to spend too much, I recommend purchasing the Online Pratice Exams. They will send you a link to your email which you can access any time and take the mock tests they provide for you. The tests are not exactly word by word as what you will see on the actual exam but it's a great and cheap way to prepare if you're on a budget.

Highly doubtful. Uber and Lyft usually require an in-state driver's license, in-state license plates, and in-state insurance. I had to hold off joining here in Chicago for a few months until I got my Illinois plates, and I can't imagine any market in California is any different.Edit, 10 minutes later: I checked into a few different markets, and all of them require you to have California DL, plates, and insurance. So go get those first.

It’s a good modern business ‘trick’ to classify people as independent contractors, so that the company does not have to offer benefits and the internal company support services to it’s contractor-employees. Microsoft had ‘contractors’ working for many years, and there was no difference between their work and the work of ‘regular’ MS employees. MS got sued and lost.An Uber driver has to use the UBER systems, rules, regs, etc… and can lease cars to use. I get why UBER would want these folks to be ‘contractors’ vs employees (e.g. they’re not supervised during work time…other than by tracking software)… but that’s true of truck drivers and a bunch of other folks who are pretty much ‘on their own’ on a daily basis.I think UBER paid rather than trying to win it’s questionable case in court.

A2A - Well CA has a 13.3% tax for those with income over a Million.  The Federal rate is 39.6%. for 52.9% so I guess I need to congratulate you on your success.Seriously, since your a sole proprietor I doubt very seriously that you are in a 50%+ tax bracket.  How are you arriving at those percentages.As to deduction you need to keep track of everything that is business related.However, the starting point is how are you arriving at that percentage because I feel strongly that you are doing something wrong in you perception of this tax rate.

Generally, applicable employment laws are those of the state in which an employee is working, rather than the state in which the employer’s headquarters are located.Consequently, you should look to the laws of your state of residence, rather than to California’s recently adopted ABC test[1], to determine whether you are an employee or an independent contractor.Footnotes[1] ABC Test for Employee Misclassification in California | Dana Shultz, Esq.

The question asks for your gross income from all sources. If you had been a California resident in 2011, you would have filled out Schedule CA, and the amount that appears on line 22 in Column C is the amount that California considers to be your gross income, your total Federal income adjusted for differences between California law and Federal law. That number - the one you compute by filling out Part I of Schedule CA as though you had been a resident of California - is what you put on the Request for Tax Return. That includes all of the income you earned outside of California as well as any that you earned inside of California. If you want to simplify the process you can just put the amount from line 22 of your 1040 on the form, reduced by any taxable state tax refund on line 10 that you received from California in 2011, any unemployment compensation on line 19, and any taxable social security benefits on line 20(b). Those are the most common adjustments to California income. If you had a small business or earned capital gains, you might have to do a little more detailed computation, and at that point you're probably best served by consulting a professional.

First, the LLC operates as tax partnership (“TP”) as the default tax status if no election has been made as noted in Treasury Regulation Section 301.7701-3(b)(i). For legal purposes, we have a LLC. For tax purposes we have a tax partnership. Since we are discussing a tax issue here, we will discuss the issue from the perspective of a TP.A partner cannot under any circumstances be an employee of the TP as Revenue Ruling 69-184 dictated such. And, the 2016 preamble to Temporary Treasury Regulation Section 301.7701-2T notes the Treasury still supports this revenue ruling.Though a partner can engage in a transaction with the TP in a non partner capacity (Section 707a(a)).A partner receiving a 707(a) payment from the partnership receives the payment as any stranger receives a payment from the TP for services rendered. This partner gets treated for this transaction as if he/she were not a member of the TP (Treasury Regulation Section 1.707-1(a).As an example, a partner owns and operates a law firm specializing in contract law. The TP requires advice on terms and creation for new contracts the TP uses in its business with clients. This partner provides a bid for this unique job and the TP accepts it. Here, the partner bills the TP as it would any other client, and the partner reports the income from the TP client job as he/she would for any other client. The TP records the job as an expense and pays the partner as it would any other vendor. Here, I am assuming the law contract job represents an expense versus a capital item. Of course, the partner may have a law corporation though the same principle applies.Further, a TP can make fixed payments to a partner for services or capital — called guaranteed payments as noted in subsection (c).A 707(c) guaranteed payment shows up in the membership agreement drawn up by the business attorney. This payment provides a service partner with a guaranteed payment regardless of the TP’s income for the year as noted in Treasury Regulation Section 1.707-1(c).As an example, the TP operates an exclusive restaurant. Several partners contribute capital for the venture. The TP’s key service partner is the chef for the restaurant. And, the whole restaurant concept centers on this chef’s experience and creativity. The TP’s operating agreement provides the chef receives a certain % profit interest but as a minimum receives yearly a fixed $X guaranteed payment regardless of TP’s income level. In the first year of operations the TP has low profits as expected. The chef receives the guaranteed $X payment as provided in the membership agreement.The TP allocates the guaranteed payment to the capital interest partners on their TP k-1s as business expense. And, the TP includes the full $X guaranteed payment as income on the chef’s K-1. Here, the membership agreement demonstrates the chef only shares in profits not losses. So, the TP only allocates the guaranteed expense to those partners responsible for making up losses (the capital partners) as noted in Treasury Regulation Section 707-1(c) Example 3. The chef gets no allocation for the guaranteed expense as he/she does not participate in losses.If we change the situation slightly, we may change the tax results. If the membership agreement says the chef shares in losses, we then allocate a portion of the guaranteed expense back to the chef following the above treasury regulation.As a final note, a TP return requires knowledge of primary tax law if the TP desires filing a completed an accurate partnership tax return.I have completed the above tax analysis based on primary partnership tax law. If the situation changes in any manner, the tax outcome may change considerably. www.rst.tax
