Self-employed tax preparation
From business income
to a filed return.
Mraz Tax Solutions LLC provides personal tax preparation and tax planning for self-employed professionals, independent contractors, freelancers, and small business owners. Whether you have multiple tax forms, a growing start-up, or complex income, we help you understand what to report, deduct, and pay.
Our Enrolled Agents bring over 15 years of tax industry experience to your questions about business income, self-employment taxes, and filing requirements.
Income & Tax Return Preparation
We review your filing status and report business income on the appropriate forms, including Schedule C, E, or F. We reconcile your records with 1099 forms, account for income without a tax form, and review how business profits or eligible losses affect your return.
Business Deductions & Records
We review ordinary and necessary business expenses, including supplies, vehicle use, and eligible home office and health insurance deductions. You get guidance on the receipts, invoices, mileage logs, and other records needed to support your deductions.
Self-Employment Tax
Self-employment tax covers Social Security and Medicare and is separate from income tax. The combined rate is generally 15.3%, subject to the Social Security wage limit and other rules. We calculate your net earnings and account for any wages and applicable deductions.
Quarterly Estimated Taxes
If you need to make estimated tax payments, we calculate how much to set aside for federal and state taxes and explain when payments are due. We review projected annual income, expenses, and withholding to help you avoid underpayment penalties and a large filing-time bill.
State & Multi-State Filing
Working remotely or serving clients in other states can create additional tax questions. We review where you live and do business, determine your state filing obligations, and prepare the required returns. Our support extends beyond California to all 50 states.
IRS Representation & Compliance
Our Enrolled Agents can represent you before the IRS in audits, collections, and appeals with appropriate authorization. We help you respond to notices, address late filing or payment issues, and understand the records and next steps needed to resolve your tax concerns.
