About TaxKiln US
Last reviewed:
TaxKiln US publishes tax guidance for self-employed Americans — sole proprietors, freelancers, S-Corp owners, and gig-economy workers across all 50 states and DC. We are an editorial publisher, not a CPA firm. Our content is guidance, not advice.
What we cover
We cover federal income tax, all 51 jurisdictions (50 states + DC), Social Security, Medicare, self-employment tax, FLSA overtime and tip provisions, sales tax and economic nexus, capital gains, qualified and ordinary dividends, retirement accounts, pass-through taxation, self-employed expense rules, home office deductions, trade-specific deductions across 23 occupations, and life-event planning including marriage, divorce, death, and emigration.
How content is produced
TaxKiln US content is researched and written by the TaxKiln editorial team against current IRS publications, the Internal Revenue Code, and Tax Court decisions. Every guide carries a 'Last reviewed' date. We update guides when statutes change, when IRS guidance is issued, or when court decisions materially affect the analysis. We are not a CPA firm, law firm, or tax preparation service. We do not provide personalised tax advice. Our content is guidance — we explain how the rules work so you can have more informed conversations with the professionals who advise you on your specific situation.
About the publisher
TaxKiln US is published by Kiln Guides Ltd, a UK-registered editorial company that publishes free plain-language guidance sites across multiple jurisdictions. Our US content is researched specifically against US federal and state tax law — IRS publications, the Internal Revenue Code, and Tax Court decisions. The editorial standard is the same regardless of where our company is registered: statute-grounded, date-stamped, guidance not advice. If you find an error or have feedback on any guide, contact us at hello@kilnguides.co.uk with the subject line 'TaxKiln US — Editorial feedback'.
What we are not
We are not financial advisors, accountants, or tax preparers. We are an editorial publisher. Our content is guidance, not advice. For advice specific to your situation, consult a CPA or qualified tax professional licensed in your state.
Research methodology
Every guide is anchored in primary authority: the Internal Revenue Code, IRS publications, the Code of Federal Regulations, and state department of revenue sources. We support rule description with worked numerical examples and practitioner-grade decision frameworks. Every factual claim is traceable to its source. We do not name or rely on specific automated tools in our methodology; research synthesis is conducted by qualified editors with direct reference to statute and IRS guidance.
