Freelancer Tax Preparation in Reynoldsburg, OH
Freelancers in Reynoldsburg — writers, designers, developers, consultants, photographers, video editors — file Schedule C as self-employed business owners. The biggest tax savings come from understanding which business expenses are deductible. Home office, software subscriptions, equipment, professional development, business meals (50% deductible), and the qualified business income deduction (20% of net profit) all reduce your tax bill significantly.

Can I deduct my software subscriptions (Adobe, Figma, Notion, etc.)?+
Yes — any software used for business is deductible. Adobe Creative Cloud, Figma, Notion, Slack, Zoom, GitHub, hosting, domain names, design assets — all deductible as business expenses. Keep receipts or use credit card statements as documentation.
I bought a new laptop for work. Can I deduct the full price?+
For business-use computers under $2,500, you can use Section 179 to deduct the full purchase price the year you bought it. For mixed-use (some personal use), only the business percentage is deductible. We recommend keeping a separate work computer to maximize the deduction.
What is the QBI deduction?+
Qualified Business Income deduction allows self-employed filers to deduct up to 20% of net business income from taxable income — on top of all your other deductions. Phase-outs apply at $191,950 (single) / $383,900 (MFJ) for 2024. Most freelancers qualify for the full 20%.
