40 million Americans freelance and most have NO IDEA how much they owe in taxes until April — then it's $8,000 they don't have. The Freelancer Tax Estimator tracks income in real time, calculates the exact set-aside per payment, reminds you before every quarterly deadline, and surfaces the deductions you're probably missing. Average freelancer recovers $2,000-$5,000/year in missed deductions. ## What's included - **Per-payment set-aside math** — "Got paid $3,200. Set aside $832 for taxes." Federal income tax bracket + 15.3% self-employment tax + state (CA / NY / TX / FL / etc.) + projected end-of-year true-up - **Quarterly estimated tax tracker** — Q1 / Q2 / Q3 / Q4 due dates (Apr 15, Jun 15, Sep 15, Jan 15); reminder cadence at 30d / 14d / 7d / day-of - **Underpayment penalty calculator** — flags when safe harbor (110% of prior year for >$150K AGI, 100% otherwise) is at risk; recommends catch-up payment - **Deduction finder** — home office (simplified vs actual), equipment + software, mileage, meals (50% rule), health insurance premium, retirement contribution (SEP-IRA / Solo 401(k) modeling), continuing education - **Schedule C category mapping** — every expense pre-mapped to line 8-27 so your CPA's job is "review and file" not "categorize 200 transactions" - **Year-end CPA package** — gross receipts, expense detail by Schedule C line, mileage log, home office worksheet, 1099-NEC summary, ready PDF - **Estimated quarterly worksheet** — Form 1040-ES line-by-line at the press of a button - **State income tax** — California (most punishing for freelancers), New York, illinois, multi-state allocation for clients in different states - **Recordkeeping audit** — flags receipts older than 7-year IRS retention window; surfaces transactions missing documentation ## Limitations - **Not a tax filer** — generates the CPA-ready package + Form 1040-ES worksheet; filing through your CPA or TurboTax / FreeTaxUSA - **Not legal counsel** — IRS notice response is starter language; CP2000 / audits need an Enrolled Agent or tax attorney - **U.S.-IRS-focused** — Canadian (CRA) + UK (HMRC) + AU (ATO) self-employment tax structures differ entirely - **Single-entity scope** by default — multi-LLC + S-corp structures run separate sessions - **Not a bank** — reads transactions if connected via Plaid / CSV; doesn't move money ## Best fit Solo 1099 freelancers + consultants + creators + Uber/Lyft/DoorDash drivers + Etsy / Shopify sellers making $20K-$300K/year self-employed. Especially valuable for first-3-year freelancers who haven't been hit by the underpayment penalty yet OR for veterans missing 5-10 deductions per year. The set-aside math at the moment of payment is the single highest-leverage feature — you cannot accidentally spend tax money you've already moved aside.
