Section 1
The big idea
If you make over $400 from a side hustle, the IRS expects taxes. AI can explain self-employment tax, deductible expenses, and whether you owe quarterly. (Spoiler: it's not as scary as it sounds.)
Some examples
- Ask AI: 'Do I owe taxes on $800 from selling sneakers?'
- Have AI list deductible expenses for a tutoring business.
- Generate a simple expense tracker template.
- Ask AI to explain estimated quarterly tax payments.
Try it!
List your side income for the year. Ask AI to estimate roughly what you owe and what you can deduct.

Section 3
The big idea
DoorDash, Etsy, freelance gigs — they 1099 you. That means no withholding and a tax bill at 15.3% self-employment plus income tax. AI can math what to set aside.
How to use it
- Ask AI to calculate the 25% to set aside on each payout
- Ask AI for the deductible expenses you can write off
- Ask AI when to file quarterly estimated taxes
- Ask AI for a free template to track miles and supplies
Try it
Open a separate savings account labeled 'taxes.' Move 25% of every gig payment there automatically starting this week.
