Why 1099 Filers in LA Choose Reed Corporation
The biggest mistake independent contractors make is treating their tax return like a simple form. It is not. When you are self-employed in California, you are dealing with federal income tax, state income tax, self-employment tax, and quarterly estimated payments to both the IRS and the FTB. Miss one of those and you are looking at penalties that add up fast.
We build a tax plan around your specific situation — not a generic template. That means looking at whether an S-Corp election makes sense, setting up a SEP-IRA or Solo 401(k) to reduce taxable income, and making sure your quarterly payments are dialed in so you do not owe a big lump sum in April. Our clients keep more of what they earn because we plan ahead instead of reacting after the fact.
