Tax Essentials for Freelancers, Creators & Gig Workers

 
Are you a freelancer, content creator, rideshare driver, or gig worker? If you earn 1099 income, your taxes work differently than a regular paycheck, and the surprises can be expensive. This hands-on, three-session workshop taught by an IRS Enrolled Agent covers everything independent workers need to know: how self-employment tax works and why you owe more than you expect, which business expenses you can deduct on Schedule C, how to calculate and pay quarterly estimated taxes to both the IRS and California’s Franchise Tax Board, and when it makes financial sense to elect S-corporation taxation. Bring your questions and your calculator. You will leave with completed worksheets you can use for your next tax filing. No prior tax knowledge required.
