Frequently Asked Questions

What is my business or freelance income? +

Your business or freelance income is the total of your bank account deposits and app (Venmo, PayPal, etc.) deposits for the tax return's year, excluding financial support/gifts from family and friends, personal reimbursements, personal refunds, W-2 salaried income, transfers between bank/app accounts, and prior year tax refunds.

What is the difference between income and a gift? +

A gift is unilateral, one-way consideration. If someone gives you money and gets nothing in return, it is a gift and not taxable for income tax purposes. However, if gifts exceed $15,000, the grantor may have to pay an excise tax on a separate gift tax return.

What are all of the tax deductions I can write off? +

Tax deductions are finite and must be documented on bank account/app statements or cash receipts. Comb through every month's statement and transaction for the tax return's year. Deductions must be proven with documentation.

How do I gather and organize my business or freelance expenses? +

Go through bank and app statements month-by-month for the tax return's year and populate transactions onto a Google Sheets spreadsheet in categories. For part-business/part-personal transactions, jot down the business percentage you reasonably estimate.

What if an expense is part business and part personal? +

On your spreadsheet, jot down the percentage you reasonably estimate represents your business use.

What if my business or freelance expenses are more than my income? +

If expenses exceed income, you have a loss. Showing a loss year after year could flag you as a hobbyist, who cannot report tax deductions exceeding business income. We recommend against showing a loss for more than two years of any five-year period.

What is the difference between income and a gift? +

How do I calculate my business or freelance income? +

Total all bank account deposits and app (Venmo, PayPal, etc.) deposits for the tax return's year, then exclude gifts, personal reimbursements, personal refunds, W-2 salaried income, transfers between accounts, and prior year tax refunds.
