Self-employed & gig workers

Who this is for

Rideshare and delivery drivers. Independent contractors on a 1099-NEC. Hair stylists, barbers, and booth renters. Cleaners, handymen, landscapers. Freelancers, consultants, notaries, real estate agents. Anyone with a side business alongside a W-2 job. If money came to you without taxes withheld, this is your return.

What's included

• Schedule C with every expense category supported by a transaction list or receipt
• Mileage: standard rate applied to a log you keep or one we rebuild from your routes, app trip history, and calendar
• Home office, business use of phone and internet, equipment purchases
• Per diem meal allowances for overnight business travel
• Self-employed health insurance deduction, SEP-IRA or Solo 401(k) contributions
• Qualified Business Income deduction (up to 20% of net profit)
• Self-employment tax calculation and next year's quarterly estimate vouchers
• Federal, state, and the individual portion of the return — all in one fee

How we handle "I didn't keep receipts"

Bank and card statements are receipts for most things. Upload twelve months and the portal pulls every transaction into a ledger you categorize with a tap. For mileage, the portal walks you through your recurring routes and one-off trips and asks what evidence backs them up. For overnight travel, the IRS sets a daily meal allowance by city, so you need dates and destinations, not receipts. Read more on rebuilding mileage.

What we won't do

Invent round numbers. Claim a home office in a room that's also the guest bedroom. Put personal groceries on Schedule C. These are the things that trigger letters, and the penalty for a preparer who signs them lands on us, not just you. We'll tell you plainly when something can't be claimed — and then find the things that can.

What moves the price up

A second business, rental property, a partner or S-corp, or a year where the books need to be rebuilt from scratch. See pricing.
