Your year of freelancing, on the right Schedule C lines.
Sole proprietors and single-member LLCs report business profit on Schedule C (Form 1040) — but a year of invoices, receipts, and bank lines does not arrive sorted by line number. This helper does the sorting: add income and expenses (or import a bank CSV), and every dollar rolls up to the Schedule C line where it belongs, with a live net-profit figure, a rough self-employment tax estimate, and a printable worksheet for your records or your tax preparer.
100% client-side — your income and expenses never leave this browser. No uploads, no accounts, no bank connections, no servers.
Not tax advice, and this files nothing. This is an organizing aid built from public IRS materials (the 2025 Schedule C and its instructions). Verify every line against the current instructions at irs.gov, and use a tax professional for anything unusual.
2026 mileage heads-up: the IRS raised the business standard mileage rate mid-year — 72.5¢/mile for Jan–Jun 2026, 76¢/mile for Jul–Dec 2026 (Notice 2026-10, as amended by Announcement 2026-11). The mileage tool below uses the right rate for each half of the year.
1 Your business
2 Income & expenses always free
Add entries one at a time, as monthly totals, or import a whole bank CSV below. Enter amounts as positive numbers — the category decides where they land on the form.
Import a bank / card CSV
Export a CSV from your bank (columns like Date, Description, Amount — or separate Debit/Credit columns). Positive amounts import as gross receipts; negative amounts import as expenses under “Other” so you can re-categorize them in the list. Nothing is uploaded — the file is read in this browser only.

| Date | Description | Category (line) | Amount |
|---|
3 Mileage & home office tools always free
Standard mileage → Line 9
Business miles driven in your own vehicle. The tool applies the IRS rate for your tax year — including the two different 2026 rates — and can drop the result into your entries as a Line 9 amount. (Keep a mileage log; this does not replace one.)
Business use of your home → Line 30
4 Live Schedule C summary always free
Every line updates as you type. Lines with nothing on them are dimmed.
5 Printable worksheet PRO
A clean, line-by-line worksheet in the form’s own layout — hand it to your tax preparer, or copy the lines into your filing software yourself. It is a worksheet, not a filed form.
6 Backup
Your entries, settings, and Pro status autosave in this browser only. Download a backup file before switching computers — or keep one per tax year.
FAQ
Does my financial data leave my browser?
No. Entries, CSV imports, and calculations all happen in this page and are stored only in this browser’s local storage. There are no accounts, no bank connections, and nothing is transmitted to any server.
What is free and what is Pro?
Free, forever: unlimited entries and CSV import, the live line-by-line summary, the mileage and home-office tools, and 2 generated worksheets. Pro ($19 one-time) unlocks unlimited worksheets plus the print pack (worksheet + a rates & line-map reference sheet).
Is this tax advice? Does it file my return?
No to both. It organizes the numbers you enter onto the lines of the 2025 Schedule C and prints a worksheet. It does not prepare or file a return, and it cannot know your full situation — credits, state rules, and edge cases are outside its scope. Verify against the Schedule C instructions and consider a tax professional.
Why are my meals cut in half?
Most business meals are only 50% deductible, and line 24b takes the deductible amount. Enter what you actually spent in the meals category and the tool carries half to line 24b. A few meal categories (for example, certain meals provided for the employer’s convenience) are 100% deductible — if that is you, enter the deductible half yourself in another category and note it. verify in the Schedule C instructions for line 24b.
What changed on the 2025 form?
Line 27a is new: it now holds the energy efficient commercial buildings deduction (Form 7205), and “Other expenses” — itemized in Part V — moved to line 27b. Older worksheets and spreadsheets that put Other expenses on 27a are a year out of date; this tool follows the 2025 form.
How is the self-employment tax figure figured?
It is a rough planning estimate using the Schedule SE shortcut: net earnings = 92.35% of your Schedule C net profit, taxed at 15.3%. It ignores the Social Security wage-base cap, any W-2 wages, and the Additional Medicare Tax, so treat it as a ballpark for setting money aside — not a number to file. Half of SE tax is generally deductible on Schedule 1.
Can I deduct my health insurance or my own retirement contributions here?
Not on Schedule C. The self-employed health insurance deduction and your own solo 401(k)/SEP contributions are adjustments on Schedule 1 (Form 1040), not business expenses on Schedule C — which is why there is no category for them here. Lines 14 and 19 are for programs covering employees. verify in the Schedule C instructions.
I have two businesses. Can I track both?
Each business files its own Schedule C, so keep one workspace per business: use the backup export/import in Step 6 to keep a separate file per business (and per year).
