Frequently Asked Questions
Am I overpaying on taxes?
The short answer is, yes. But don’t feel bad. 90% of solopreneurs overpay on taxes because our financial system was built to help corporations, not individuals. The good news is you no longer have to navigate this maze alone. We’ve developed the technology and playbook to make taxes easy and turn them from a burden into an opportunity.
Does your average customer really save $14,801 annually?
Yes! But that's just the cherry on top. Our customers also average $18k in retirement contributions annually and the compounding effect of that is the key to building long-term wealth. Over the course of five years, our typical customer will save $50k in taxes and contribute $90k in strategic retirement investment accounts that are growing, compounding, and working for you. But you don’t have to take our word for it, see what our Tax Happy customers have to say.
What’s the difference between Formations and my CPA?
CPAs are great—we’ve got a few of them on our team! But most CPAs don’t have the expertise—or the time—to provide the insights and guidance you require as a self-employed pro. Think of your CPA as a generalist, kind of like visiting a practitioner at urgent care that keeps you waiting and doesn't know your unique history or niche challenges. Formations, on the other hand, is like an on-call, award-winning surgeon with the best team and tech on the planet. Who would you want by your side during a major operation?
What industries do you work with or have expertise in?
Formations helps self-employed professionals across all industries plan, manage, and pay their taxes. Our solution was designed to support independent businesses of one such as Real Estate Agents, Freelancers, Consultants, Coaches, Developers, Designers, Video Editors, Music Supervisors, Copywriters, Producers, Architects, Lawyers, Insurance Agents, Traveling Nurses, Therapists, Psychiatrists, Trainers, Chiropractors, Hair Stylists, Tattoo Artists, and so many more.
