QuickBooks Self-Employed

QuickBooks Self-Employed is a streamlined version of QuickBooks designed specifically for freelancers, independent contractors, and gig economy workers. Its killer feature is automatic mileage tracking using your phone's GPS. It separates business and personal expenses, estimates quarterly taxes, and populates Schedule C and 1099-MISC forms. The interface is simplified compared to full QuickBooks, focusing solely on tax-related tracking and reporting.

It integrates with TurboTax for seamless filing. For solopreneurs whose primary accounting need is accurate tax preparation and maximizing deductions, especially for vehicle use, this tool is purpose-built and highly effective.
