Tax software for freelancers who juggle clients and platforms

Freelancers rarely have a tidy tax situation. Income comes from a handful of clients and platforms, some send forms and some do not, expenses span software, travel, and a home workspace, and self-employment tax sits on top of it all. Software made for a single paycheck makes you fight the flow, and that friction is where deductions get missed.

TaxFile is tax software shaped around freelance work. It reads the 1099s you received, lets you add the income that was not reported on a form, and organizes your expenses into deductible categories. It prepares your Schedule C, figures self-employment tax, and surfaces freelance deductions with a reason for each. After an error check and your review, it e-files through an authorized IRS e-file provider. Not tax advice. Review your return before filing. For complex situations, consult a CPA or tax professional.

Why it works

What you get with tax software for freelancers

Every income source

Reported and unreported income from all your clients and platforms comes together in one return, so nothing slips through the gaps of a multi-client year.

Expenses sorted

Software, travel, equipment, and home office expenses are organized into deductible categories, so the write-offs you earned actually make it onto the return.

Schedule C and SE tax

TaxFile prepares your Schedule C and calculates self-employment tax together, so the freelance return is complete and the total is clear.

TaxFile reads your W-2s, 1099s and receipts, classifies your income, finds the deductions and credits you qualify for, runs an error and audit-risk check, and assembles a return you review and approve before filing.
