Freelancers, contractors, and small business owners enjoy independence—but they also face more complicated tax obligations. Miss a few quarterly payments or under-report income, and the IRS can come down hard.
At ONeill Tax Resolution, we work with self-employed individuals every day to clean up tax messes, resolve back debt, and put systems in place to stay on track going forward.
Why the Self-Employed Are More at Risk
When you work for yourself:
-
No one withholds taxes for you
-
You must pay Self-Employment Tax (15.3% extra)
-
You’re expected to file quarterly estimated taxes
-
You’re responsible for your own recordkeeping
It’s easy to fall behind—and the IRS adds penalties fast. You might also face audits, bank levies, or business account seizures if you ignore the problem.
Common Mistakes We Help Fix
-
Years of unfiled returns
-
Back taxes owed from gig work or 1099 income
-
Payroll tax debt if you hired contractors or employees
-
IRS letters that have gone unopened for months
