Preparation for your kind of work

Practical details worth bringing forward.

Bring the platform records

Gig workers may have income summaries, 1099 forms, app or platform statements, payment records, mileage, phone and internet costs, supplies, and equipment. The first task is gathering a complete picture across every platform used during the year.

Estimated taxes are part of the conversation

Independent income can come without withholding. A periodic review of income and expenses can help clients understand estimated-tax questions before an unexpected filing balance becomes a problem.

Self-employment is not an entity return

Most platform and independent work is reported on Schedule C within an individual return. If a client also owns a separately taxed S-Corporation, partnership, or corporation, that business has a separate filing path.

Gig work is generally self-employment activity reported on Schedule C as part of an individual return. That is different from a separately filed business entity return. Understanding this distinction helps clients bring the right records to the first conversation.
