Retired fed investigator-interested in BIs

As a 1099 who doesn’t need the money he can make this job as stressful or non-stressful as he wants. At least that has been my experience. He will still have the frustration of dealing with review. But that frustration can be minimized by realizing that review is often wrong and if you take the time to research the citations you can often prove that what they are asking for is incorrect. What other job gives you the flexibility to work as much or as little as you want on a week by week basis, with a completely flexible schedule with little oversight from anyone and only one (optional) meeting per month? Having to pay the full FICA self employment tax isn’t great. But being able to deduct every mile driven, family health insurance premiums, 20% QBI, home office etc. makes up for it IMO.
