Yes, those would be under the services category and charged currently 1.5% of gross receipts. Although many of them are employees and not self employed so their hospital or corporation pays it. Some cities (such as Bellevue) have their own B & O tax also.

On the contest, the 1099 is reported to the IRS so you have to file or will be investigated. Chances are with only SS income and the prize you would still not make enough to be taxed but I'm not an expert.

I did consulting work before and after moving to WA and never worried about where the work was done... on the phone / internet here and there, on the road, various locations around the country. I filed and paid federal income tax but saw no way I needed to pay B&O tax and did not.
