Books for a US freelancer, with Schedule C in mind.
Every payment and every business cost in one list, with the profit per month and per quarter. Free, no sign-up, on your device.
Income, expenses and Schedule C
Self-employed income and ordinary business expenses are reported on Schedule C with your Form 1040, and the profit is also subject to self-employment tax. Clients and platforms may send you a 1099-NEC or 1099-K, but you owe tax on all your income whether or not a form arrives. Intaj Books keeps the list; your tax software or preparer does the forms.
Four payments a year
If you expect to owe tax, the IRS wants estimated payments through the year (Form 1040-ES), roughly each quarter. The year view shows your profit per quarter so you have a number to work from; type a set-aside % and each month shows what to move to a separate account.
Questions
Is the set-aside amount what I owe?
No. It is your planning number. Your tax depends on your total income, deductions, your state and the self-employment tax; ask a preparer or use the IRS worksheets.
Do I need to keep receipts?
Yes. The IRS expects records that support what you report, usually for at least three years and longer in some cases. Attach the receipt to the expense here.
