Self-employed & gig workers

Your side hustle is still a business.

Next Door helps contractors, freelancers, drivers, delivery workers, and other self-employed clients organize income and ordinary business expenses for accurate tax preparation.

Common records

Bring the facts behind the business.

  • 1099 forms and other income records
  • Platform or app income summaries
  • Mileage or vehicle-use records when applicable
  • Business supplies, phone, equipment, and other ordinary expenses
  • Receipts, statements, and supporting records

Whether an expense is deductible depends on the facts and tax rules. A preparer should not create or estimate unsupported expenses simply to increase a refund.

Why organization matters

Business profit or loss can change the entire return.

Self-employment can affect adjusted gross income, self-employment tax, refundable credits, and the amount ultimately owed or refunded.

Next Door uses a structured preparation and manager-review workflow before filing.
