The short version If you earn income as a freelancer, contractor, gig worker or sole proprietor, your return typically includes a Schedule C and self-employment tax. Irini prepares both and explains them to you before anything is filed.
Who this is for
- Freelancers and independent contractors who receive a 1099-NEC
- Gig and platform workers who receive a 1099-K
- Sole proprietors with a small business or side business
What Irini handles
- Reporting your business income and expenses on Schedule C
- Self-employment tax
- Mileage and vehicle expenses, and the home office deduction, when you qualify
- Your questions about estimated tax payments for next year
What to gather
Typically: all 1099-NEC and 1099-K forms, a summary of your business income, expense records by category, and a mileage log if you drive for work. Irini will confirm what applies to you. Please do not email these documents; she gives you secure instructions after you become a client.
What it costs
A self-employed return usually costs more than a basic return because there is more to prepare. The Pricing page includes a Schedule C add-on in its fee estimator, and Irini confirms your price before she starts.
Good to know
The IRS says you have to file an income tax return if your net earnings from self-employment were $400 or more. See the IRS Self-Employed Individuals Tax Center.
