Compliance, without the stress
Most therapists pay quarterly taxes based on last year's income. If your practice grew, you under-pay all year. If it slowed or moved to part-time, you over-pay and wait for a refund. And plenty skip the payments altogether, then owe it all at once. Heard keeps you compliant from quarter to quarter, with a number that reflects what's happening in your practice, and it folds anything you've missed into your next payment.
Never worry about a quarterly payment again
Self-employed therapists pay income tax four times a year, not once. Miss one and the IRS charges penalties and interest until you catch up. Heard handles your taxes year-round, so each payment is based on what you're earning now, not last year's income.
Why four payments? The IRS expects self-employed income to be taxed "as you earn it." If you wait until April, the IRS can charge penalties and interest on every quarter you underpaid. Paying in four smaller installments spreads the cost across the year and helps you avoid that, so April stays smaller.
