Taxes for Solopreneurs

The scariest part of working for yourself shouldn't be a tax form.
You went solo for the freedom. Then tax season showed up with a five-figure surprise, a stack of confusing forms, and that nagging fear of doing it wrong. Sound familiar? You're not bad at taxes - nobody ever taught you.
This book replaces the fear with a simple system. Written for freelancers, independent contractors, gig workers, and single-member LLC owners - and current for the 2026 tax year, including the sweeping 2025 tax-law changes - it walks you step by step through the whole solopreneur tax life:

• Know your number. Exactly how much to set aside from every payment so a tax bill never blindsides you again.
• Quarterly taxes in 15 minutes. The safe-harbor trick that makes underpayment penalties nearly impossible - even in your first year.
• Every write-off you legally earned. Home office, vehicle, health insurance, retirement, the 20% QBI deduction, and a reusable checklist of deductions most solopreneurs miss.
• The honest LLC vs. S-corp math. When the election saves real money, when it's an expensive mistake, and the break-even numbers no one shows you.
• Bookkeeping in 30 minutes a month. A routine so simple you'll actually do it.
• What the IRS actually does. Real audit odds, real penalty math, and why filing on time cuts the worst penalty by about 90%.
