Simple Steps to Filing Correctly
We handle the complexity of self-employment taxes so you don't have to.
Gather 1099s & Records
Collect all 1099-NEC, 1099-K, and any business income records. Bring expense receipts, mileage logs, and bank statements. Not sure what to bring? Call us first.
Tax Pro Analyzes Business
Your dedicated Tax Pro reviews your income sources, business type, and expenses to map out every deduction and structure your Schedule C for maximum accuracy.
Review Deductions Found
We walk you through every deduction identified — home office, vehicle, supplies, software, and more — so you understand exactly how your taxable income was reduced.
File & Minimize Taxes
We e-file your complete return, including SE tax calculations and estimated payment vouchers for next quarter. Fast, accurate, and fully compliant.
Built for the Self-Employed
We specialize in the unique tax situation of freelancers and independent contractors.
Schedule C Expertise
We prepare Schedule C returns daily. Every line is reviewed for accuracy and every eligible expense category is explored — nothing is left on the table.
SE Tax Calculation
Self-employment tax (15.3%) is calculated precisely. We also claim the deductible half of SE tax on your Form 1040 to reduce your adjusted gross income.
Home Office Deduction
If you work from home, you may qualify for a significant deduction. We calculate both the regular and simplified methods and apply whichever is most beneficial.
Vehicle & Mileage Deductions
We compare the standard mileage rate against actual vehicle expenses and apply the method that yields the larger deduction for your specific usage.
Quarterly Tax Planning
We calculate your estimated quarterly payments for the upcoming year so you avoid underpayment penalties and stay ahead of your tax obligation all year long.
All Business Entity Types
Sole proprietor, single-member LLC, or partnership — we handle every structure. We'll also advise if an S-Corp election could reduce your SE tax burden.
Common Questions
What is self-employment tax and how much do I owe?
Self-employment tax covers Social Security (12.4%) and Medicare (2.9%) — a combined 15.3% on your net self-employment income. As a freelancer, you pay both the employee and employer share. We calculate this precisely and help you claim the offsetting deduction on your 1040.
What deductions can I claim as a self-employed person?
Common deductions include home office, vehicle/mileage, business equipment, software subscriptions, professional services, advertising, phone and internet (business portion), health insurance premiums, and retirement contributions. The list varies by business — we find everything that applies to you.
Do I need to pay quarterly estimated taxes?
If you expect to owe $1,000 or more in taxes after withholding, the IRS requires quarterly estimated payments (due April, June, September, and January). Missing these can result in underpayment penalties. We calculate your exact amounts and provide payment vouchers.
What if I have both W-2 income and freelance income?
Very common. We file a combined return that includes your W-2 income, Schedule C for freelance income, and applies credits and deductions across both. Your W-2 withholding may offset some of your self-employment tax liability.
