Tax Preparation
Tax Preparation
With Clarity Behind
the Numbers
Preparing a tax return isn’t just about entering numbers into software. Your return should accurately reflect your financial situation while taking into consideration the tax rules, deductions, credits, and reporting requirements that apply to you.

Self Employed & Schedule C
Your Business Income
Changes Your Tax Return.
Being self employed means you’re responsible for more than generating income. You’re also responsible for properly reporting that income, tracking business expenses, understanding self employment taxes, and maintaining records to support what’s reported on your return.
Benchmark works with freelancers, independent contractors, sole proprietors, and other self employed business owners who report business activity on Schedule C.
We help you properly organize and report.
And just as importantly, we help you understand what those numbers mean for your tax situation.

Tax Support
That Understands
Life on the Road
Transportation professionals aren’t just drivers. Many are also business owners responsible for managing revenue, operating expenses, equipment, recordkeeping, and taxes.
Benchmark has a particular focus on helping self employed transportation professionals, including:
Semi Truck Owner Operators
Sprinter Van Operators
Box Truck Owners
Independent Transportation Professionals
Depending on your business, your tax situation may involve fuel, repairs and maintenance, insurance, equipment, permits, tolls, business mileage, depreciation, and other operating expenses.
Benchmark can help with Schedule C tax preparation, bookkeeping, organization of business income and expenses, and year round tax planning so you aren’t trying to reconstruct an entire year of business activity when it’s time to file.
