Resources for Self-Employed Taxpayers

Heightly turns your bank and credit card statements into an organized Tax Prep Report. It does not file your taxes. This page covers the step after that — filing the return yourself, handing the report to a professional, or checking the source rules directly.

Disclosure: Some links on this page are affiliate or referral links, and are labelled Paid link where they appear. If you buy a product or service through one, Heightly may receive a commission at no additional cost to you. Government and professional-body links are not affiliated with Heightly in any way.

Filing it yourself

If you prefer to prepare and file your own return, several established providers support Schedule C income: TurboTax, FreeTaxUSA, TaxSlayer, H&R Block, and Cash App Taxes where available.

Heightly is not affiliated with any of these providers and receives nothing if you use them. Choose whichever fits your situation.

Working with a tax professionalReferral partner

Taxfyle connects you with a licensed tax professional who prepares and files your federal and state returns online, including Schedule C. You complete a short questionnaire, upload your documents — your Heightly Tax Prep Report among them — and are matched with a preparer.

Suits people who want professional preparation without visiting a local office. It also handles multiple 1099s, rental income, investment reporting, prior-year returns, and quarterly estimate guidance.
