If you're self-employed, the IRS expects you to pay taxes four times a year (April 15, June 15, September 15, January 15). It's like how an employer withholds taxes from each paycheck — except you're both the employer and employee. If you expect to owe $1,000+ in taxes for the year, you should be making these payments.
No — 1099 Pilot is an estimation and tracking tool, not a filing tool. It keeps you informed all year so you're never blindsided. When tax season comes, you (or your CPA) still file your return. Think of us as your co-pilot, not the pilot. We can even export a summary to make your CPA's job easier.
We use the actual 2024 IRS federal tax brackets, self-employment tax rates (15.3%), and standard deductions. State estimates use simplified effective rates. For most freelancers, we're within 5-10% of the actual amount. The more accurately you track income and expenses, the closer we get.
All data is stored locally on your device using Apple's encrypted storage. We never see, store, or have access to your financial data. If you enable iCloud sync, it uses Apple's encrypted CloudKit infrastructure. No third-party servers. No tracking. Your data is yours.
The IRS charges an underpayment penalty — currently around 8% annualized on the unpaid amount. It's not the end of the world, but it adds up. Paying something is always better than paying nothing. 1099 Pilot sends deadline reminders so you don't forget.
