Questions
Frequently asked questions.
Small Business Tax Basics for the Self-Employed
Self-employment tax, Schedule C, quarterly estimated payments, and the records that make tax season easier.
I have a W-2 job and a side business. Can you handle both?
Yes. We prepare your return with both your wages and your business income, so everything is reported together and correctly.
What records should I keep?
Keep records of all business income, receipts for expenses, a mileage log if you drive for business, and records of any estimated tax payments. A separate business bank account makes this much easier.
Do I need to make estimated tax payments?
Many self-employed people do, because no employer withholds tax from business income. We can review your situation and talk through whether quarterly estimated payments make sense for you.
What types of businesses do you work with?
Freelancers, independent contractors, sole proprietors, and single-member LLC owners are a strong fit. If your business is organized differently, share the details in your free consultation and we will confirm whether your filing is within our services.
How much does business tax preparation cost?
Pricing depends on the forms and the condition of your records. Your first consultation is free, you receive pricing before work begins, and new clients save 15% on tax preparation fees.
