Content creators, streamers, online sellers (Etsy, eBay, marketplaces), and freelancers receiving 1099-NEC or 1099-K.
Deductions to track
- Equipment, cameras, computers, software/subscriptions
- Platform and payment-processor fees
- Home studio/office (if it qualifies)
- Supplies, shipping, and cost of goods sold

We organize your 1099-K/NEC and expenses, separate personal from business, and a human preparer completes your return correctly.
