Self-Employed

Free tax help is available through Tax-Aide for qualifying self-employed individuals, including those who work for Uber, Lyft, Doordash etc. To qualify for assistance, self-employed taxpayers may not have losses, employees, expenses over $35,000, depreciation, business use of home, 1099 filing requirement or other complicating factors. Based on these limitations, if you qualify for tax assistance, we ask that you complete the self-employed worksheet in the link below, before your scheduled tax appointment. We ask that self-employed taxpayers make an appointment after March 1 due to the more complex nature of their tax returns.

Please download the SELF-EMPLOYED WORKSHEET , complete it fully, and bring it to your intake appointment with the supporting documentation in the same order as the form.

You may be eligible for a sick leave or family leave credit if you lost work days because of COVID-19. Please download the 2021 Self-Employed COVID Worksheet, complete it fully, and bring it with you.
