Ohio Self-Employed Tax Preparation

Ohio has a state income tax, and many municipalities add their own, so most self-employed residents file both a federal and an Ohio return each year.

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

Self-employed Ohioans generally owe federal self-employment tax plus Ohio state income tax on their net earnings, and many cities impose a municipal income tax as well. We help freelancers and 1099 workers report income, claim eligible deductions, and stay current with estimated payments.

We prepare your federal and Ohio returns together so everything reconciles. If you moved or earned income outside the state, we manage any multi-state filing required.
