For Freelancers & Contractors

That home office deduction you're missing? It's probably in your contract.

You didn't just guess your internet bill was 30% deductible. Your client's contract probably says it outright. We find it.

The Problem

You're probably claiming the wrong deductions (or none at all).

The IRS doesn't care if you *thought* your cell phone was 100% business. They care what your contract says. Most freelancers sign agreements that silently define what they can and cannot deduct. Miss it, and you're leaving cash on the table or risking an audit.

  • You're using the simplified method ($5/sq ft) because you never saw the exclusive-use clause in your contract.
  • That 'stipend' for internet? It's probably taxable income because your contract calls it a 'reimbursement' without an accountable plan.
  • You bought a new chair and desk but didn't deduct them because your contract doesn't mention 'furniture' or 'equipment' allowances.
The Solution

We read your contract so you don't overpay your taxes.

Legal Shell AI doesn't just highlight legal jargon. It translates your client agreement into a plain-English list of every expense you can legally write off, based on the exact language they signed.

What Other Freelancers Are Saying

"I had no idea my contract said I could deduct my entire phone bill. That's like, $600 back I was just giving to the IRS. This app is nuts."

Maya K. · Freelance Graphic Designer

"My old CPA just asked for my receipts. This actually told me *what* receipts to keep based on what I signed. Huge difference."

David R. · Independent SEO Consultant

"I thought I was being smart using the simplified method. Nope. My contract had an exclusive-use clause that meant I could deduct *way* more. Feeling pretty stupid but also richer."

Frequently asked questions

What kind of contracts does this work for?
Any. Independent contractor agreements, service agreements, freelance gig contracts. If you're paid 1099, we can scan it.
Is my contract data safe?
Yes. We don't store your documents after analysis. Our AI runs in a secure environment. Your secrets stay yours.
How is this different from a tax software?
Tax software asks you questions. We read your *contract* to tell you what questions you should be asking. It's proactive, not reactive.
What if my contract is a mess?
Perfect. A messy contract often has the most ambiguous, deductible-friendly language buried in it. That's exactly what we find.
Do I need to be a tax expert to understand the report?
No. We say things like 'Deduct this' and 'Here's the clause that allows it.' Your CPA can handle the rest.
What if I already filed my taxes?
You can file an amended return. Finding an extra $1,000 in deductions usually means a ~$300 refund. Do it.
