Frequently Asked Questions
What taxes do self-employed people owe?
Self-employed individuals must pay self-employment tax (Social Security and Medicare) as well as income tax, usually through estimated quarterly payments.
What happens if I didn’t file 1099 taxes?
The IRS may assess penalties, add interest, and send you collection notices. If unaddressed, they can garnish wages or levy bank accounts.
Can I settle self-employment tax debt?
Yes. Depending on your financial situation, you may qualify for an Offer in Compromise, payment plan, or hardship relief to reduce or eliminate the debt.
Can I fix multiple years of unfiled returns?
Absolutely. We help self-employed clients file or amend several years of tax returns and bring their accounts into full IRS compliance.
Do I need bookkeeping to resolve my taxes?
No. We can work from your bank statements and help recreate basic records — even if your books are a mess or nonexistent.
Do you offer flat fees for self-employed tax help?
Yes. Our services are flat-fee based, so you'll know the full cost upfront with no hourly charges or surprises.
