For 1099 workers, freelancers, and the self-employed
You are probably overpaying your taxes. By a lot.
Most 1099 workers hand the government an extra few thousand dollars a year because nobody is keeping the receipts. Nobody is tracking the miles. Nobody is doing the math on the home office. The shoebox is the system, and the shoebox forgets.
Five questions below. A real number on the other side. Then, if you want, a real person.
Show me the number.The calculator
Five questions. Then a number.
This is a heuristic. Not a return. Not advice. A starting point so we can have a real conversation.
What this is
This is not a course. This is not a webinar. This is not a download.
On the other side of the calculator is a tax lawyer in Memphis named Taylor Berger. He has a J.D. and an LL.M. in tax. He runs a small practice and a small piece of software called Ledger that keeps the receipts and the miles and the math in one place for people who are tired of carrying it in their phone.
The product is memory. You stop having to remember everything. Someone has eyes on this now.

Who this is for
Drivers. Stylists. Contractors. Therapists. Photographers. Trainers. Cleaners. Coders moonlighting on a side thing. Anyone who gets a 1099 and a feeling in their chest in March.
Roughly $30,000 to $200,000 in 1099 income a year. Tired. Carrying the business in your phone. Quarterly tax payment feels like a punishment for the crime of working hard.
If that is you, the calculator is for you.
The lawyer behind it
Taylor Berger
J.D. and LL.M. in tax. Licensed to practice law in Mississippi (Bar #103232) and admitted in federal tax court. Runs TCB Law out of Memphis.
Spent a decade running bars and restaurants and rentals before going back to the law. Knows what it looks like when the receipts are in a glove compartment and the invoices are in a thread on someone's phone. Built Ledger because he got tired of watching people pay tax on money they did not actually make.
