Tax Services for Truck Drivers & Owner-Operators

Taxes work differently when you're running a business on the road.

I provide tax preparation and year-round tax support for independent truck drivers and owner-operators, with a focus on accurate reporting, legitimate business deductions, and helping you understand what you're paying and why.

I can also help with bookkeeping and certain trucking-related compliance filings, giving you one place to turn for several important parts of the financial side of your business.

Tax Preparation Built Around Your Trucking Business

As an owner-operator, your tax return involves much more than a W-2 or 1099.

Fuel, repairs, insurance, equipment, per diem, depreciation, truck payments, permits, and other operating expenses can all affect your return. Your business structure and recordkeeping can matter too.

I take the time to understand how your trucking business operates, review the information you provide, and make sure applicable expenses and deductions are properly accounted for.

When the return is finished, I'll explain the result so you understand where the numbers came from and what you may need to do differently for the year ahead.

The goal is not simply to find as many deductions as possible. It's to identify the deductions you're legitimately entitled to, report them correctly, and help reduce unnecessary tax surprises.

Common Tax Issues I Help Owner-Operators With

Per Diem

If you qualify, the meals per diem rules may provide an important business deduction. I'll help determine when the deduction applies and how it should be reported.

Truck & Operating Expenses

We review applicable business expenses such as fuel, repairs, maintenance, insurance, permits, tolls, supplies, communication expenses, and other costs of operating your business.

Truck & Equipment Purchases

Buying a truck, trailer, or major equipment can have significant tax consequences. Depreciation and available expensing options should be considered based on your actual circumstances.

1099 & Self-Employment Income

Independent drivers are generally responsible for their own income and self-employment taxes. I can help you understand the tax impact and what you may need to set aside during the year.

LLC & S Corporation Considerations

An LLC or S corporation isn't automatically the right choice for every owner-operator. We can evaluate the potential tax benefits, costs, payroll requirements, and additional compliance involved.

Estimated Taxes

If taxes aren't being withheld from your income, quarterly estimated payments may be necessary. Planning during the year can help reduce the chance of an unexpected balance at filing time.

Tax preparation is the core of my trucking services, but keeping good records and staying current with required filings can make tax season much easier.
