Taxes & Write-Offs Explained
Freelance taxes don’t need to be scary—or generic. WorkMade uses your actual jobs, income, and expenses to calculate taxes and deductions specific to you. This section explains how it all works, including how write-offs are tracked, how estimated taxes are handled, and what to expect at year’s end.
What is a write-off?A write-off is a work-related expense you don’t have to pay taxes on. WorkMade tracks them automatically—no receipts or math needed.
How do estimated taxes work?When you're self-employed, no one withholds taxes for you—so you pay them yourself, 4x a year. WorkMade makes this automatic.
What happens if I don’t pay taxes?Missing tax payments can lead to late fees, interest, and IRS headaches. Here’s how WorkMade helps you stay penalty-free.
How does WorkMade personalize my taxes?We don’t use averages. WorkMade calculates your taxes based on your actual jobs, income, household, and expenses.
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.
