Self-employed and side-hustle taxes
Tax help for the self-employed in D.C., Maryland, and Virginia
Freelance, gig, and side-business income comes with estimated payments and deductions worth tracking. We prepare Schedule C returns online and help you plan the year ahead.
Who this is for
- Freelancers and contractors who receive a 1099-NEC or 1099-K
- Rideshare, delivery, and online-sales workers
- Military-spouse business owners
- Anyone with side income, even when no form arrives
What we handle
Schedule C returns
Business income and expenses, mileage, home office, and self-employment tax, prepared and reviewed twice before filing.
Estimated taxes
Taxes are pay-as-you-go. Sole proprietors generally make estimated payments if they expect to owe $1,000 or more. We help you set them up.
Expenses worth tracking
Advertising, vehicle mileage, supplies, software, travel, and other costs. We tell you what to keep and how to keep it.
More than one state
If you live in one state and earn income in another, we prepare the part-year or nonresident returns you need.
Filing in D.C., Maryland, or Virginia?
We prepare federal returns and D.C., Maryland, and Virginia state returns, including part-year and nonresident returns when you live in one place and earn income in another. We prepare returns for other states too. Everything is handled online.
General information, not personalized tax advice. Free help such as MilTax and IRS VITA is available for simple returns. Foundry is the next step when a return needs more time.
