They didnt need your,services anymore. They did not let you go because of an approved vacation day. Stop thinking like an employee.
Anyone on a 1099 is not going to get unemployment, but you can make up for that with tax savings. Home office, mileage on your car, etc, really adds up. Also, PDJTs tax bill provides a 20% deduction for pass through income. I think even a sole proprietor can take it. I am not sure of all the ins and outs yet, but I am going to the accountant today to get it straightened out.
