Why self-employed taxpayers choose PUBLIC TAX, CORP

Self-employed taxes require more than entering a 1099.

A self-employed return can affect income tax, self-employment tax, estimated payments, IRS notices, business records, and future tax planning. We prepare these returns with documentation and compliance in mind.

EA professional review

Your return is reviewed with professional judgment by a federally licensed IRS Enrolled Agent.

Expense classification

We review business categories and documentation so the return is not just a rough income-and-expense entry.

Estimated tax awareness

We help self-employed taxpayers understand why quarterly payments may be needed and what may affect next year.

Secure portal workflow

Upload 1099s, expense records, mileage logs, and supporting documents through a secure online process.

Self-employed tax situations handled

Tax help for real-world 1099 and small-business income situations.

This page focuses on taxpayers who operate as individuals, sole proprietors, independent contractors, gig workers, or single-member LLC owners. Entity returns have their own business tax pages.

1099

Independent contractors

1099-NEC income, business expenses, mileage, tools, supplies, insurance, subcontractor payments, and self-employment tax reporting.

GIG

Gig workers and app income

Rideshare, delivery, marketplace, creator, and platform income involving 1099-K, 1099-NEC, cash, or app-based records.

LLC

Single-member LLC owners

Schedule C reporting for disregarded LLCs, separating business records from personal tax items, and understanding entity-level limits.

PRO

Consultants and professionals

Tax preparation for consultants, sales professionals, real estate agents, online service providers, and owner-operated practices.

EST

Estimated taxes

Review of quarterly payment needs, withholding gaps, tax balance causes, and planning points for the next filing year.

IRS

Prior-year and IRS issues

Back-tax filing, IRS notices, income matching problems, penalties, and cleanup for self-employed taxpayers behind on returns.

Service fit

Built for taxpayers whose income does not fit a simple W-2 return.

Self-employed clients often need income reporting, expense review, estimated tax awareness, and sometimes IRS cleanup at the same time. This page connects those needs without turning the service page into a local landing page.

Schedule C focus

We prepare self-employed returns involving gross receipts, expenses, business use of vehicles, home office items, supplies, and other Schedule C categories.

Record review

We help identify what should be supported by 1099s, bank records, bookkeeping summaries, mileage logs, receipts, or other documentation.

Business connection

If your activity has grown beyond Schedule C, we can point you to LLC, S corporation, bookkeeping, and business tax planning services.

IRS problem support

For missed filings, IRS letters, penalties, or balances due, we can connect self-employed return preparation with tax resolution support.
