About this audiobook
April does not have to arrive as a surprise. If you freelance, drive for an app, run a small business or take on contract work, nobody is withholding tax from your pay, and the rules for what you owe, when you pay and what you can deduct are scattered across a dozen IRS publications. Self-Employed Tax Guide 2027 puts it in one plain, friendly, year-round walkthrough for U.S. filers. Unlike a short overview of 1099 life or a guide to responding to audit notices, this book goes deep on the things that decide your bill: how self-employment tax and quarterly estimated payments work, which deductions you can claim category by category, and the records that back them up. Three invented composite people, a freelance designer, a gig driver and a contract consultant, follow a full year so you can see every rule in action. Inside, you'll learn: Every figure is labeled with its tax year and a pointer to where you can confirm the current number. Educational, not tax advice: use it to understand your situation and to ask better questions of a licensed professional.
