TaxPilot: 1099 Tax Estimator

TaxPilot helps freelancers, independent contractors, and gig workers estimate what they actually owe the IRS — before tax season becomes a surprise. WHY TAXPILOT Traditional tax software is built for April, not for the whole year. TaxPilot is built for freelancers who need to know, month to month, how much to set aside from every 1099 payment. KEY FEATURES • Self-Employment Tax Calculator Enter your gross 1099 income and expenses to get an instant estimate of your self-employment tax, federal income tax, and total take-home pay — based on current IRS brackets and the standard deduction for your filing status. • Expense Tracking Log business expenses by category (home office, software, equipment, mileage, travel, health insurance, and more) and see your deductions reflected in your tax estimate automatically. • QBI & Deduction Breakdown See exactly how your Qualified Business Income deduction, half of your SE tax, and your standard deduction reduce your taxable income — not just a final number. • Quarterly Payment Reminders Get notified ahead of each IRS estimated tax due date, with a suggested amount to set aside so you're never caught off guard. • Full Line-Item Report Unlock a detailed breakdown of every step in your tax calculation, from gross income down to your effective tax rate. WHO IT'S FOR Freelancers, consultants, rideshare and delivery drivers, creators, and anyone who receives 1099 income and needs to plan for self-employment tax. TaxPilot provides estimates for planning purposes only and is not a substitute for professional tax advice. Always consult a licensed tax professional or CPA before filing.
