CR PRO TAX has expanded its support for self-employed and gig workers during the 2026 tax season, offering structured Schedule C filing and compliance-focused preparation services. The East Orange-based accounting firm is now accepting appointments for independent contractors, freelancers, and gig economy workers who need specialized tax assistance.
The expansion comes as more Americans earn income through independent and contract work, including rideshare drivers, delivery workers, freelancers, tradespeople, and online sellers. These workers face unique tax challenges because income taxes are not withheld throughout the year, making proper preparation and planning essential.
"Self-employed taxpayers are running small businesses, whether they realize it or not," said Clinton Robinson, owner of CR PRO TAX. "Our job is to help them file like business owners — organized, compliant, and prepared. Many gig workers make the mistake of underreporting income or overestimating deductions, which can trigger IRS issues later."
CR PRO TAX tax preparation services include comprehensive income reconciliation, expense review, and proper Schedule C preparation. The firm assists clients in understanding the importance of recordkeeping, separating business and personal expenses, and preparing for future tax years to avoid unexpected balances due.
The accounting firm emphasizes compliance-focused preparation to help clients avoid penalties, audits, or future collection notices. Beyond filing, the office provides guidance on estimated taxes and planning strategies for those who expect ongoing self-employment income. This support helps clients avoid falling behind and build long-term financial stability.
"With the growth of the gig economy, we're seeing more people who have never filed as self-employed before," added Robinson. "They need guidance not just on this year's return, but on establishing good habits for tracking income and expenses throughout the year. Proper documentation makes a significant difference when it comes to maximizing legitimate deductions while staying compliant."
The firm's expanded services address common challenges faced by self-employed workers, including understanding quarterly estimated tax payments, identifying deductible business expenses, and maintaining proper documentation for IRS requirements. Early scheduling is encouraged, as self-employed returns require additional review time compared to standard W-2 filings.
CR PRO TAX serves self-employed clients across East Orange, Newark, Irvington, Bloomfield, and surrounding Essex County communities. The firm has been providing comprehensive accounting and tax services to businesses, executives, and individuals throughout New Jersey for years.
