Schedule C Spreadsheet 2026, Self Employed Tax Tracker, Income Expense and Mileage Log

Track income, expenses and mileage all year. When tax time comes, your Schedule C totals are already done.

What you get: Excel + Google Sheets file · 8 tabs · filled example included · instant download

WHAT'S INSIDE (8 tabs)
- Start Here: 6 short steps and the color key, so you know exactly where to type
- About You: a few questions about your business, your car and your work space. Skip anything that doesn't apply
- Money In: one row each time you get paid (room for 500 payments), with a column for which 1099 form, if any, shows it
- Money Out: one row for each business purchase (room for 500). Pick the kind of expense from a drop-down and the file puts it on the right Schedule C line for you
- Miles: one row per business drive (room for 500). The 2026 IRS mileage rate is applied by trip date
- Dashboard: money in, money out, profit and business miles, month by month
- For Your Accountant: a print-ready page with your totals line by line in Schedule C order, plus income split by 1099-NEC, 1099-K and no form
- Categories & Rates: the expense list with plain-English examples and the 2026 mileage rates (nothing to type)

WHAT YOU GET
- 1 instant download (.zip) with 2 Excel files:
- BLANK file: your own copy to fill in
- EXAMPLE file: the same workbook filled with made-up numbers, so you can see how a finished year looks before you start
- Works in Microsoft Excel (desktop recommended) and Google Sheets (upload the .xlsx to Google Drive, then open it with Google Sheets). Some formatting may look a little different in Google Sheets.
- Simple color key: cream cells = you type here, gray cells = fill in by themselves.

WHO IT'S FOR
- Freelancers, independent contractors and 1099 workers
- Sole proprietors and single-member LLC owners
- Side hustlers, gig workers, consultants, creatives, cleaners, photographers and small online shops
- Anyone who wants tidy year-end numbers without learning bookkeeping
Not for W-2 job income, partnerships, S corporations or rental property (see my Rental Property Tracker).

HOW IT WORKS
1. Open the EXAMPLE file and click through the tabs to see a finished year.
2. Open the BLANK file and answer About You (about 5 minutes).
3. Every time you get paid, spend money or drive for business, add one row on Money In, Money Out or Miles.
4. Check the Dashboard any time to see your profit so far.
5. At tax time, print For Your Accountant (or save it as a PDF) and send it with your 1099 forms.
