Self-employed · 1099 tax filing

1099 tax filing that reads every form and finds what you can deduct

If you earned 1099 income, filing can feel like assembling a puzzle with pieces from a dozen sources. Each client sends a 1099-NEC, payment apps send 1099-Ks, and none of it comes with withholding, so you owe income tax and self-employment tax and have to track every deductible expense yourself. Miss a form or a deduction and the numbers are off.

TaxFile reads each 1099-NEC and 1099-K, totals your income, and prepares the Schedule C that goes with it. It checks for the deductions 1099 earners qualify for, calculates self-employment tax, and runs an error check before anything is submitted. You review the full return, and only then does TaxFile e-file through an authorized IRS e-file provider. Not tax advice. Review your return before filing. For complex situations, consult a CPA or tax professional.
