Self-Employed Tax Services

Expert Tax Preparation for the Self-Employed

As a self-employed individual, freelancer, or independent contractor, your tax situation is more complex than traditional W-2 employees. We specialize in Schedule C (Profit or Loss from Business) preparation, helping you maximize deductions while maintaining IRS compliance. Our service covers 1099-NEC, 1099-K, and 1099-MISC income reporting, ensuring accurate calculation of your self-employment tax obligations.

For 2026, the self-employment tax rate remains at 15.3% (12.4% for Social Security and 2.9% for Medicare) on net earnings up to $168,600, with an additional 0.9% Medicare surtax on income exceeding $200,000 for single filers. However, you can deduct 50% of your self-employment tax on your Form 1040, reducing your adjusted gross income. We identify every eligible business expense—from home office deductions (Form 8829) to vehicle expenses, professional development, software subscriptions, and health insurance premiums.

The Qualified Business Income (QBI) deduction under Section 199A allows eligible self-employed individuals to deduct up to 20% of qualified business income, potentially saving thousands in taxes. We calculate your QBI deduction eligibility and optimize your business structure to maximize this benefit. Additionally, we provide quarterly estimated tax payment calculations (Form 1040-ES) to help you avoid underpayment penalties and manage cash flow throughout the year.
