Tax by state

New York Self-Employed Tax Preparation

New York has a state income tax, and New York City adds its own, so most self-employed residents file both a federal and a New York return each year.

Prepared by real tax specialists — with Enrolled Agent or CPA review when your return calls for it.

Self-employed New Yorkers generally owe federal self-employment tax plus New York state income tax on their net earnings, and residents of New York City face an additional city income tax. We help freelancers and 1099 workers report income, claim eligible deductions, and stay current with estimated payments.

We prepare your federal and New York returns together so everything reconciles. If you moved or work across state lines, common in the tri-state area, we handle any multi-state filing required.

If you expect to owe beyond withholding, you generally make quarterly payments to both the IRS and New York. We help you calculate them.
