Do I still need to file taxes at the end of the year?

Yes—but with WorkMade, you don’t have to do the work. We prepare your return all year long, then file it for you after a 5-minute call.

Self-employed taxes aren’t separate—they’re part of your personal return. That means you file one return per year that includes both your personal and business income.

Normally, people scramble in April. But with WorkMade, everything’s been done in the background—so filing is just a final step.


Here’s how WorkMade handles it:

  • We track your income automatically

  • We apply your write-offs in real time

  • We save and pay your quarterly taxes

  • We prep your year-end summary while you work

By the time tax season opens, you’re already 95% done.


Then comes the 5-Min File.

At the end of January, you’ll get a quick call from Hu, your AI tax agent. This is the only filing experience built for freelancers who don’t have time to dig through forms.

In the call, Hu will:

  • Cross-check any discrepancies across your accounts

  • Compare your activity to your expected tax forms (like 1099s)

  • Ask smart questions that don’t show up on a ledger (like dependents, home office changes, or life updates)

  • Let you ask anything you want about your finances, income, or tax situation

This is your moment to clarify, clean up, or confirm—with a real human reviewing everything before submission.


What’s different about this process?

  • No forms

  • No confusing interface

  • No 1000-question wizard

  • Just the data you already shared, used intelligently to ask only what’s needed


After the call:

  1. You’ll review your final return in the WorkMade app

  2. Confirm that everything looks good

  3. Tap “Confirm & File”

  4. WorkMade files your state and federal return for you

Your taxes have been done all year long. Now all you have to do… is finish them.
