What's Covered
Eight Topics. One Hour. Zero Guesswork.
This is the accurate, professional guidance that saves you stress and money — before tax season arrives.
What It Means to Be Self-Employed
Freelancer, sole proprietor, gig worker, side hustler — for the IRS, it all means the same thing. Know where you stand from day one.
Entity Structures: Sole Proprietor, LLC & S-Corp
The real differences — not the social media version. Which structure makes sense, when to consider upgrading, and what actually changes when you do.
Tax Filing Requirements
What forms you need, when you need them, and what happens if you miss a deadline. No surprises.
Calculating Income & Expenses
How to determine your taxable business income — what counts, what doesn't, and how to track it cleanly throughout the year.
Self-Employment Tax
The tax most new business owners don't see coming. What it is, how it's calculated, and how to plan for it so it doesn't blindside you.
Record Keeping & Accounting
What to keep, how long to keep it, and how to set up a system that protects you if the IRS ever comes knocking.
Deductions for Self-Employed Individuals
The deductions available specifically to self-employed people — including ones that don't require itemizing. Keep more of what you earn.
Quarterly Tax Payments
How estimated taxes work, when they're due, and how to calculate what you owe so you're never caught short at tax time.

From Your Instructor
This Is What Nearly 20 Years of Tax Experience Looks Like.
I'm Catina Borgmann — a Federally Credentialed Enrolled Agent, which means I hold the highest credential issued by the IRS. I specialize exclusively in taxation, and I have unlimited practice rights before the IRS — the same authority as a CPA or a tax attorney.
I created this workshop because I kept seeing the same confusion in the self-employed community — bad information from social media, misunderstandings about business structure, and unnecessary tax surprises. This is accurate, professional guidance in one place.
