Tax Compliance Without Judgment
No W-2? No 1099? Cash income? We can still help you get compliant.
You earned it. Now let's get the paperwork right.
If your income doesn't arrive with a W-2 — tips, cash, gigs, bookings, clients, side-hustle money paid friend-to-friend — you still have a tax obligation, and ignoring it doesn't make it disappear. Income doesn't have to come with a W-2 to create a tax obligation. That's not a scare tactic. That's just the tax code.
TBG Tax Solutions built this service for earners like you: people whose money is real but whose paper trail is messy, thin, or nonexistent. We'll help you organize what you have, report it correctly, and get current — no lectures, no shame, no judgment about how you got here.
Who It's For
This service was built for cash-based, independent, unconventional, and difficult-to-document earners, including:
Bartenders and service-industry pros working for tips
Beauty pros — barbers, stylists, braiders, locticians, nail techs, lash and makeup artists
Gig workers, delivery and rideshare drivers
Creators and entertainers paid per booking, post, or project
Cash businesses — food trucks, pop-ups, market and festival vendors
Anyone earning without a 1099
Anyone years behind on filing and ready to fix it
Anyone moving from informal income to legitimate entrepreneurship
THE PATHWAY: ORGANIZE → REPORT → FILE → RESOLVE → LEGITIMIZE
Five steps. Every client walks them in order.
Step 1 — Organize
Start with what you've got.
We meet you where you are, not where the books say you should be. Bank deposits, app payouts, receipts, booking messages, handwritten logs — bring whatever you have. We sort it into clean, honest income and expense records you can actually stand behind.
Step 2 — Report
Report every dollar the right way.
Income doesn't have to come with a W-2 to create a tax obligation. During intake we determine the correct reporting treatment for your actual activity — what counts as income, what's genuinely deductible, and what's not — based on the information you provide, and nothing else.
Step 3 — File
File your returns — current and past.
Filed this year? Filed nothing in five? Either way, there's a path forward. We prepare and file your returns so your record with the IRS matches reality, whether that's one return or a multi-year cleanup, handled in the right order.
Step 4 — Resolve
Resolve what's hanging over you.
Balances, notices, penalties, unfiled years — we help you face the full picture and work through it. Getting compliant isn't just filing a return; it's clearing the weight of everything that's been sitting unresolved.
Step 5 — Legitimize
Turn informal income into a real operation.
Separate the money, set up simple systems, and run your operation like the legitimate business it already is. This is where cash becomes capital — and where you stop operating in the shadows of your own success.
What This Service Is — And Isn't
This service is compliance only. All work is based on taxpayer-supplied information: what you tell us, what you show us, and what your real activity supports.
Here are the lines we do not cross. We do not conceal income from the IRS. We do not disguise the sources of funds. We do not fabricate deductions or invent records. We do not help anyone evade taxes. During intake, we determine the correct reporting treatment per your actual activity — and we report it fully and honestly.
If what you need is to report fully, file correctly, and get compliant going forward, you're in the right place. If what you need is someone to help you hide from the IRS, we're not it — and no reputable tax professional is.
What to Expect — How to Start
It starts with a conversation. A confidential intake where you tell us where you stand: what you earn, what you've filed, and what's weighing on you. Then we build your Organize → Report → File → Resolve → Legitimize plan and walk it with you, step by step.
