For 1099 Drivers and Owner-Operators

April Shouldn’t Be a Surprise.

If no taxes were withheld this year, you still owe a balance plus late penalties for missing quarterly payments. We calculate your exact tax bill based on your actual mileage and earnings.

The Four Most Common Tax Mistakes Drivers Make

  1. Setting Nothing Aside

    Self-employment tax alone is 15.3% before any income tax. On a $100,000 net income, that is a $15,300 bill that nobody withheld for you.

  2. Missing Per Diem Deductions

    Every single night away from home qualifies for a deduction. Missing a year of these tracking logs means overpaying your taxes by thousands.

  3. Skipping Quarterly Payments

    Waiting until April to pay everything at once triggers IRS underpayment penalties for not paying as you earned throughout the year.

  4. Accepting a Misclassified 1099 Status

    Many company drivers are wrongly treated as 1099 independent contractors when they should legally be W-2 employees. If the company controls your schedule, routes, and equipment, you shouldn't be stuck paying the entire 15.3% tax burden yourself.
