Frequently asked questions
What do I actually get?
Each kit includes a fillable workbook (.xlsx) and a printable PDF. Open the workbook in Excel, or import it into Google Sheets (File › Import). Dropdowns and totals keep working.
Is this tax advice?
No. The kits are educational and organizational. They help you gather and track records. Your tax preparer, or the IRS instructions, decide what you can claim.
Do the kits calculate my taxes?
No. Some sheets add up what you enter (for example, total expenses or business miles). They don't figure deductions, self-employment tax or estimated payments.
Where does the information come from?
IRS publications, forms and instructions. Each kit has a sources page with links and the date we checked them. Anything taken from a draft IRS form is labeled DRAFT.
Who reviews the kits?
A tax preparer reviews each kit before it's released.
Are you affiliated with the IRS?
No. We cite IRS materials as public sources only.
Is it safe to put my information in the workbook?
We recommend you don't type full Social Security numbers, account numbers or passwords into any kit, especially if you store it in the cloud. The kits are designed to track that you have a document, not to hold the sensitive numbers on it.
Which tax year are these for?
Tax year 2026, for returns filed in 2027.
What do the kits cost?
What to Bring Your Preparer is $9, the 1099 Contractor Kit is $15 and the Small-Business Year-End Checklist is $14. All three together are $29 in the 3-Kit Bundle. One-time price, no subscription.
How do I buy?
Click the Buy button on any kit page. Checkout is handled by Gumroad, and you get the download link right away on screen and in your receipt email.
Can I get a refund?
All sales are final and no refunds are given, because the kits are instant digital downloads. If a file won't open, email [email protected] and we'll send you a working copy. If the IRS changes a figure or date in a kit for tax year 2026, we'll post a corrected version you can re-download free from your Gumroad receipt.
