AUGUSTA, Ga — Side hustle, freelance job, gig or contract work—whatever you prefer to call it, Americans are doing it and changing the economic landscape forever. A combinatio­n of technology and the need for additional income has created an entire sub-economy in the U.S. where, according to the 2016 MGI Survey, 68 million Americans work on the side. That number is expected to increase. As more Americans are taking advantage of opportunit­ies to make money through contract work and rideshare services, like Uber and Lyft, their taxes are getting much more complex. Questions about what they can deduct or claim as a credit on their tax return leave them stumped and confused. Can a graphic designer deduct software as a business expense? Can Uber drivers deduct vehicle expenses? TaxSlayer has spent years studying this emerging need and has developed a new self-employed package specially designed for side-hustling freelancer­s to make sure they don’t overpay in taxes. Customers get all their questions answered with VIP 1099 support and education, as well as front-of-the-line assistance. In the end, that means a bigger refund for TaxSlayer customers, or owing less to the IRS, by ensuring taxes are done right the first time.
