Tools for Freelancers Doing Their Taxes
So, it’s tax time. The time of year that strikes fear in the heart of even the bravest business warrior. And, if you’re a freelancer, you may be particularly worried about handling your taxes, especially if last year was your first year freelancing. There are a few special circumstances that freelancers face at tax time, for sure, but with the right resources, you can get all of your questions answered and be certain you’re getting your taxes done the right way – even if you want to do them yourself. Here are some tools to get you started.

June Walker – June Walker has been guiding the self employed through their taxes since 1979. Her website is a valuable tool for helping you work through the particular tax circumstances that freelancers encounter. You’ll find answers to every imaginable question on this site.

IRS Small Business and Self Employed Tax Center – Yes, the IRS can help you and give you good advice. The IRS Small Business and Self Employed Tax Center has answers to the most common issues faced by freelancers doing their taxes. You’ll get answers, forms and can even e-file through the IRS website if you choose.

National Association for the Self Employed – This organization can provide lots of information for those who are self employed – and not just at tax time. It is the country’s leading resource for the self employed, offering resources and tools to help with many aspects of self employment. Their tax resource center can give you lots of tips and answers to help you with your tax situations all through the year.

Turbo Tax – Turbo tax is used by many people in all employment situations to complete their taxes on their own. It works particularly well for freelancers because it walks you through each part of completing your taxes with simple questions about your earnings, deductions and special considerations for the self employed. Just be certain that you select the personal and small business choice when you go online.

H&R Block – Though H&R Block has been providing tax preparation services for years, but are fairly new to the online service. But, like Turbo Tax, with H&R Block online, you can do your taxes yourself and by choosing the right tax situation for you, ensure that all the forms are filled out appropriately. They also offer in person support for do it yourself filers. You have access to an H&R Block professional who will answer your questions, check your return and e-file it for you.

All of these resources can help you tackle the daunting task of your taxes all alone, even though you’re self employed. In most cases, using the online services offered here, you can be finished with your taxes in just a few hours provided you have all your records together.

Going freelance is nothing to be scared of – even at tax time. With a little help from these tools your taxes will be over and done in no time.
