1099 Contractor Tax Filing
Self-employment tax
The 15.3% SE tax applies to net earnings. We calculate the deductible half on your return so you do not overpay.
Quarterly estimates
We calculate what you owe each quarter and give you payment amounts with due dates so there are no underpayment penalties.
Deductions
Home office, vehicle, equipment, software, professional development. We work through your expenses line by line.

Common questions
I have W-2 income and 1099 income. Can you handle both?
Yes. Mixed income is very common. We prepare the full return with both W-2 wages and Schedule C self-employment income combined.
What if I did not make quarterly payments?
You may owe an underpayment penalty. We calculate it, include it in your return, and discuss how to avoid it next year.
I have 1099s from several platforms. Do I need to organize them first?
No. Start the intake form and our office will request what is needed and send a checklist. You do not need to organize anything before reaching out.
Does the price change based on how many 1099s I have?
Price is based on complexity, not document count. You get one written quote after our office reviews your documents. The quote does not change.
