Construction Contractors
Paid on 1099s by general contractors? I make sure your tools, truck and helpers are deducted, and that Texas sales tax rules don't catch you off guard.
See what I check →Rideshare & Delivery Drivers
Houston is a driving city, and your miles are your biggest deduction. I rebuild them from your app data and make sure the new tips deduction is on your return.
See what I check →Barbers
Renting a chair or running your own shop, you're a business. I make sure your booth rent, tools and card fees come off your income, and that your tips get the new deduction.
See what I check →Hair Stylists & Salon Suite Renters
A salon suite is a small business with real overhead. I make sure your rent, color, extensions and marketing come off your income, and that your tips get the new deduction.
See what I check →Nail Technicians
Renting a station or running your own room, your supplies add up fast. I make sure every bottle, lamp and booth payment comes off your income, and that your tips get the new deduction.
See what I check →House Cleaners & Cleaning Businesses
Clients pay by Zelle, Venmo or cash, and helpers come and go. I turn that into a clean, complete return with every supply, mile and helper deducted.
See what I check →Landscapers & Lawn Care
Houston's growing season barely stops, and neither do your equipment costs. I make sure mowers, trailers and fuel come off your income, and that Texas sales tax on lawn care is handled.
See what I check →Truck Drivers & Owner-Operators
From Port Houston drayage to over-the-road runs, trucking has its own tax rules. I make sure your per diem, fuel and truck costs are claimed right and your 2290 and IFTA records line up.
See what I check →Food Truck Owners
Between the medallion, the commissary and sales tax on every plate, a food truck has more moving parts than most small businesses. I keep all of it straight on your return.
See what I check →Home Daycare Providers
Running a daycare in your home means part of your house is a business. I work out your time-space percentage and meal deductions so you keep more of what you earn.
See what I check →Home Caregivers & Home Health Aides
Caregivers get paid in more ways than almost anyone: agency W-2s, Consumer Directed Services, private families and Medicaid waiver programs. Each is taxed differently, and some of it may not be taxable at all.
See what I check →Real Estate Agents
Commission income swings from month to month and your expenses don't. I make sure dues, marketing and miles come off your income and that your estimates keep up with your closings.
See what I check →Pastors & Church Workers
Ministers have tax rules no one else has: a housing allowance that's free of income tax but not of self-employment tax, and a church that usually doesn't withhold Social Security. I make sure both sides are right.
See what I check →Commission Salespeople
Car sales, insurance, solar, door-to-door or direct sales: how you're paid decides what you can deduct. I sort out your W-2s, 1099s and chargebacks so you're taxed on what you actually kept.
See what I check →Refinery & Plant Workers
Long shifts, overtime, turnarounds and several contractors in one year make a plant worker's return easy to get wrong. I make sure the new overtime deduction is claimed and your per diem and out-of-state work are handled right.
