⚠️ No Tax Advice — Estimates Only
All calculators and tools on SelfEmpTaxCalc.com provide estimates only. They are not a substitute for professional tax advice, IRS guidance, or official tax filings. The calculations are built from official IRS publications — Publication 334 (Tax Guide for Small Business), 505 (Tax Withholding and Estimated Tax), 535 (Business Expenses), 587 (Business Use of Your Home), 560 (Retirement Plans for Small Business), and 463 (Travel, Gift, and Car Expenses) — plus each state's official Department of Revenue rates for the 2026 tax year, but individual tax situations vary widely.
⚠️ You should always consult a licensed Certified Public Accountant (CPA), enrolled agent (EA), or tax attorney before making tax-related decisions or filings.
📋 Accuracy of Calculations
We strive to keep our calculators up to date with the latest IRS publications and tax law changes. However, tax laws change frequently, and we cannot guarantee that every calculation result is accurate for your specific situation. Factors we cannot account for include:
- Complex multi-state tax situations
- International tax treaties or foreign income exclusions
- Business structures other than sole proprietorship or S-Corp (e.g., partnerships, C-Corps, LLCs with special elections)
- Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) calculations
- State-specific credits, deductions, or filing requirements not reflected in our simplified state tax estimates
- Changes to tax law enacted after our last update
🔒 Data Privacy
All calculations run entirely in your web browser. We do not collect, store, or transmit any personal or financial information. Your income data, deductions, and calculation results never leave your device. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
📄 IRS Forms and Filings
Our calculators are not a replacement for official IRS forms or filings. You are still responsible for:
- Filing the correct IRS forms (Schedule C, Schedule SE, Form 1040-ES, etc.)
- Making timely quarterly estimated tax payments to the IRS and your state
- Keeping accurate business records and receipts for all deductions claimed
- Verifying all figures with a tax professional before submitting to the IRS

⚖️ Limitation of Liability
SelfEmpTaxCalc.com and its developers shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising out of or in any way connected with the use of this website or its calculators. This includes, but is not limited to, loss of profits, business interruption, or loss of tax benefits due to reliance on calculation results.

Estimates, Not Filings
SelfEmpTaxCalc produces planning estimates using published IRS and state rates. It does not prepare or file any tax return, and results may differ from your actual liability due to credits, elections, and facts unique to you.
Not a CPA — E-E-A-T Statement
We are a software tool built and maintained by a team that compiles official rate tables; we are not a licensed CPA firm. Every page links to the underlying IRS publications so you can verify our numbers yourself. For anything binding, consult a credentialed tax professional.
State-Specific Caveat
State tax rules change often and can include local surtaxes (e.g., New York City), credits, and filing nuances we summarize but do not exhaustively cover. Always confirm with the relevant state agency before filing.
