Freelancer Blueprint
The Freelancer Blueprint
The money decisions every 1099 earner has to make — with the math and the worksheets to run your own numbers.
When you're self-employed, no one withholds your taxes, picks your retirement account, or tells you whether an S-corp
is worth it. This Blueprint hands you the frameworks — and fillable worksheets — to make those calls with confidence.
It's not a course to sit through or a generic ebook. It's a plain-English playbook you work through at your own pace,
type your own numbers into, and bring to your CPA.
What's inside (10 sections):
- Separate your money — the three-account system + a steady-paycheck worksheet
- Quarterly taxes — the safe-harbor rule, the four due dates, and a payment planner
- Solo 401(k) vs SEP-IRA — which one holds more of your money, with a side-by-side worksheet
- The S-corp breakeven — when the election actually pays for itself (and when it doesn't)
- The HSA on an ACA plan — the only triple-tax-free account, plus the quiet subsidy bonus
- The deductions freelancers miss — including the 20% QBI deduction
- Your first 90 days — a step-by-step checklist
- Questions to ask your CPA — a tick-box list to bring to the meeting
- Resources & glossary — tools and reading to go deeper
What you get:
- A fillable PDF — type your numbers straight into every worksheet
- Each decision in plain English, with the math worked out in a real example
- Built to take to your CPA — not to replace them
Educational only — not financial, tax, or investment advice. Tax limits change yearly; confirm current figures at
irs.gov and your own situation with a licensed CPA or advisor before acting.
