Questions

Self-employed return questions

What counts as organized records?

A profit-and-loss summary or a spreadsheet with your income and expenses sorted by category for the year. If you only have bank statements, start with bookkeeping cleanup and I'll build the records first.

I have an LLC. Which return do I need?

A single-member LLC usually files on Schedule C with your personal return, which is this $449 return. I'm not taking partnership, S corporation or C corporation returns this season.

Do you help with estimated taxes?

Yes. After your return is done, I'll give you suggested quarterly estimated payments for the next year based on your numbers.

What if I have more than one business?

Each additional business on its own Schedule C is $150.
