Bring a government-issued photo ID, Social Security or ITIN numbers for everyone on the return, all income forms (W-2s, 1099s), and records of deductions or credits such as mortgage interest, tuition, childcare, or business expenses. If you are self-employed, bring your income and expense totals.

Self-Employed & 1099 Returns · Dallas, TX

Self-Employed & 1099 Tax Preparation in Dallas — Keep More of What You Earn.

Q: How much do I owe in taxes as a 1099 contractor?

Plan to set aside 25–30% of net profit. You pay regular income tax plus 15.3% self-employment tax on net earnings. Deductions reduce both, which is why professional preparation often pays for itself.

Q: What are quarterly estimated taxes, and do I have to pay them?

If you expect to owe $1,000 or more for the year, the IRS requires payments four times a year: April 15, June 15, September 15, and January 15. VIP Choice calculates your quarterly amounts as part of your return.

Q: Can I deduct my home office and phone?

Yes, if used for business. A dedicated home workspace lets you deduct a portion of rent and utilities, and the business-use percentage of phone and internet is deductible.

Q: Should I form an LLC or S-Corp to save on taxes?

Once net profit is consistently strong, an S-Corp election can reduce self-employment tax but adds payroll and filing requirements. VIP Choice prepares both personal and business returns and can run your actual numbers.

Built for the Way You Work

If any of these sound like you, this is your return — and you likely have more deductions than you think.

🚗Gig & rideshare drivers — Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, Instacart, Amazon Flex. Mileage is usually your biggest deduction; we make sure it’s captured.

💻Freelancers & contractors — designers, IT, consultants, construction subs. Multiple 1099-NECs? No problem.

🛒Sole proprietors & online sellers — shops, booths, Etsy/Amazon sellers, cash-based businesses that need clean records.

🔧Skilled trades & services — cleaning, landscaping, salons, mechanics, and every hustle in between.

The Deductions We Hunt Down for You

Self-employment tax is 15.3% on top of income tax — so every legitimate business deduction matters twice. Your preparer walks through all of these with you:

✔ Vehicle & mileage (standard mileage rate or actual expenses — we calculate both)
✔ Home office — a percentage of rent, utilities, and internet
✔ Phone & equipment — tools, laptop, supplies, depreciation
✔ Insurance & health premiums — self-employed health insurance deduction
✔ Software, fees & commissions — platform fees, apps, merchant processing
✔ Half of your self-employment tax — an automatic deduction many DIY filers miss

Self-Employed Taxes — Frequently Asked Questions

What Dallas freelancers and contractors ask us most.

How much do I owe in taxes as a 1099 contractor?

As a rule of thumb, plan to set aside 25–30% of your net profit. You pay regular income tax plus 15.3% self-employment tax (Social Security and Medicare) on net earnings. The good news: deductions reduce both. That’s why professional preparation often pays for itself — every $1,000 in missed deductions can cost you roughly $300+ in extra tax.

I didn’t get a 1099 from every client. Do I still report that income?

Yes — all self-employment income is taxable whether or not a 1099 was issued. Payment apps and platforms also report to the IRS, so unreported income is the #1 trigger for notices. We’ll help you total everything correctly from bank deposits and app summaries.

I didn’t track my mileage. Can I still claim it?

Often, yes. Rideshare and delivery apps record your miles, and we can help you reconstruct a reasonable, defensible log from app data and your driving pattern. Going forward, we’ll show you a simple tracking method so next year is easy.

What are quarterly estimated taxes, and do I have to pay them?

If you expect to owe $1,000+ for the year, the IRS wants payments four times a year (April 15, June 15, September 15, and January 15). Skip them and you’ll owe an underpayment penalty on top of your tax. We calculate your quarterly amounts and set you up with payment vouchers — included with your return.

Can I deduct my home office and phone?

Yes, if you use them for business. A dedicated workspace at home lets you deduct a portion of rent and utilities, and the business-use percentage of your phone and internet is deductible. We’ll calculate the method that saves you the most.

Should I form an LLC or S-Corp to save on taxes?

Once your net profit is consistently strong (often $40k+), an S-Corp election can meaningfully cut self-employment tax — but it adds payroll and filing requirements. We prepare both personal and business returns, so we can run your actual numbers and tell you when the switch makes sense. See our business formation services.

Do you work with Spanish-speaking business owners?

Every day. Our team is fully bilingual — your appointment, your documents, and any IRS follow-up can all be handled in Spanish. Se habla español.
