If any of this sounds familiar, you're not alone.

1099 income makes taxes complicated. Most people who end up owing the IRS didn't do anything wrong on purpose — they just never had the systems that a W-2 job provides.

Unfiled tax returns

One year became three. Now you're not sure where to even start.

Missed quarterly estimates

Nobody withheld anything, and the payments snuck up on you.

Scary IRS notices

CP14s and letters piling up that you've been afraid to open.

No real bookkeeping

Income and expenses tracked in your head, a spreadsheet, or not at all.

Fear of wage garnishment

Worried a levy or garnishment could hit your bank account or clients.

Growing penalties & interest

The balance keeps climbing and it feels impossible to catch up.

How we help you get back on track

Four core services built specifically around the needs of self-employed workers.

IRS Tax Debt Relief
Offers in compromise, installment agreements, penalty abatement, and currently-not-collectible status to resolve what you owe.
1099 & Self-Employment Tax Filing
We get you caught up on unfiled returns and prepare accurate self-employment filings going forward.
Bookkeeping & Deductions
Simple, ongoing bookkeeping that captures every deduction you’re entitled to as a contractor.
Business Tax Prep
LLC, S-corp, and sole proprietor tax prep so your business stays compliant year after year.

Why we're different from a generic accountant

We only work with 1099 & self-employed cases

Generic accountants and tax mills treat 1099 debt like a side note. It's the only thing we do, so we know the strategies that actually work.

Real conversations, not sales scripts

We'll tell you honestly what your options are, including when a big promise from another firm doesn't add up.

No judgment about how you got here

We've talked to thousands of freelancers and contractors in the same spot. You won't get a lecture — you'll get a plan.

Portrait of the founder of 1099 Tax Relief

Family-run, since day one

We started this firm because our own family knew what it's like to owe the IRS.

After watching a family member struggle through years of unfiled 1099 returns and mounting penalties, we built a practice focused entirely on the self-employed. Fifteen years and thousands of resolved cases later, we still take every case personally.

Every plan is built by licensed tax professionals who specialize in gig, freelance, and contractor income — not a call center reading from a script.
