Self-Employment & 1099 Tax Preparation

Need Help With 1099 Income or Self-Employment Taxes?

​

If you are self-employed, work as an independent contractor, drive for a rideshare or delivery platform, receive 1099 income, or operate a small side business, your tax return can be more complicated than a basic W-2 return.

​

Gregg The Tax Guy helps individuals and small business owners throughout Olathe, Johnson County, Kansas, Missouri, and the Kansas City metro area file accurate self-employment and Schedule C tax returns.

​

Tax Help for Independent Contractors and Gig Workers

​

Self-employment income can come from many sources, including:
 

  • 1099-NEC income

  • 1099-K income

  • Rideshare driving

  • Delivery driving

  • Amazon Flex

  • Freelance work

  • Contract labor

  • Side businesses

  • Single-member LLCs

  • Small service businesses

 

Many taxpayers are surprised to learn that taxes are usually not withheld from this income. That can create a balance due if estimated payments were not made during the year.

​

Schedule C Tax Preparation

​

Self-employed taxpayers typically report business income and expenses on Schedule C. This is where proper expense tracking becomes important. Common deductible expenses may include:
 

  • Mileage or vehicle expenses

  • Supplies

  • Phone and internet

  • Business software

  • Advertising

  • Home office expenses

  • Professional fees

  • Equipment

  • Parking and tolls

  • Other ordinary and necessary business costs


Every situation is different, so the goal is to report income properly while also making sure legitimate business expenses are not missed.
 

Help With Back Taxes and Prior-Year 1099 Income
 

If you received 1099 income in a prior year and never filed, it is better to deal with it sooner rather than later. Gregg can help prepare prior-year tax returns and help you get caught up. Need help with IRS letters? Click here!
 

Many people fall behind because they are worried they will owe money. The first step is simply getting the returns prepared so you know where you stand.
 

Estimated Tax Payment Guidance
 

Self-employed taxpayers often need to make quarterly estimated tax payments. These payments can help avoid large balances due and possible penalty assessments.
 

Gregg can help explain how estimated taxes work and why they matter for independent contractors, gig workers, and small business owners.
