Self-Employed? Your Tax Situation Is More Complex Than You Think
If you earned 1099 income in 2025, your tax return requires more than plugging numbers into free software. Self-employment tax alone is 15.3% on your net earnings. That is on top of your regular income tax. Without proper deductions, you could be paying thousands more than necessary. Deductions available to self-employed taxpayers include home office expenses, vehicle mileage, health insurance premiums, retirement contributions, business supplies, professional development, and more. But these deductions must be calculated correctly and documented properly. Aggressive deductions without support trigger audits. Missed deductions cost you money. Schnoldine Lynn Joseph, EA, specializes in self-employed and small business tax preparation. She knows which deductions apply to your situation and how to maximize your return legally. Do not leave your self-employment taxes to guesswork. 📞 Call (844) 200-8027 to schedule your appointment before April 15.
