Tax work for Avondale
Avondale runs on trades and shift work: construction, healthcare, logistics, and a steady layer of side income on top of a W-2. The most common thing I fix here is a return where the 1099 work was treated like an afterthought.
A second income stream is not complicated, but it does have rules, and the penalty for guessing is real money.

Driving, delivery, and platform work where mileage records and quarterly estimates determine whether April hurts.

Child tax credit, dependent care, education credits, and getting withholding right so the refund is not a surprise in either direction.
Avondale questions
I have a W-2 and 1099 income. How does that work?
Both go on the same return. The 1099 side gets a Schedule C, you deduct real business expenses against it, and you owe self-employment tax on the profit. This may require increasing your W-2 withholding or quarterly estimated tax payments which we can help calculate. More on tax planning →
What records do I need for mileage?
Dates, miles, and business purpose. An app is fine. Reconstructing a year of driving from memory does not survive an audit, and it usually undercounts. More on tax preparation →
Do I need to make quarterly payments?
If you expect to owe more than about $1,000 beyond withholding, yes. We calculate the number once and you stop wondering. More on tax planning →
