Frequently asked questions

What can I deduct?

Any expense that is ordinary and necessary for your business. Common: home office, vehicle, supplies, software subscriptions, business meals (50%), travel, education, professional fees, advertising.

Mileage vs actual vehicle costs?

Choose one method per vehicle per year. Standard mileage at $0.67/mi 2026 is simpler. Actual costs can be larger for low-mileage / high-cost vehicles. We calculate both for comparison.

When are quarterlies due?

Q1: 15 April. Q2: 15 June. Q3: 15 September. Q4: 15 January (next year). Underpayment penalty applies if you owe >$1,000 and didn’t pay 90% via withholding/quarterlies.

Should I use TurboTax or a CPA?

For simple Schedule Cs with W-2s, TurboTax Self-Employed ($129) is fine. For complex (multiple businesses, partnerships, S-corps), a CPA is worth $500-2,000. We export for both.
