Can I still qualify if I’m self-employed?

Yes — self-employed individuals absolutely qualify for the 12-411 process. In fact, many of our clients are business owners, freelancers, or independent contractors who are looking for a way to eliminate their income tax burden legally and permanently.

That said, it’s important to understand a key distinction:

• The 12-411 process eliminates federal and state income tax liability, but it does not eliminate self-employment tax (also known as FICA, which covers Social Security and Medicare contributions).

• These are insurance-based programs, not income taxes, and were not in existence in 1913 when the 12-411 redemption law was created.

• As a result, this process does not apply to FICA or self-employment tax, particularly for S-Corp owners or sole proprietors.

However, you’re not on your own.

Our certified No-Tax Pros, each with 20 to 30 years of experience, are trained to help selfemployed clients minimize or offset their self-employment tax liabilities using strategic deductions, business write-offs, and smart filing techniques.

So while FICA contributions may still apply, we’ll ensure you:

• Eliminate all income tax liability

• Remain fully compliant with IRS regulations

• Use all allowable deductions to minimize any remaining tax exposure

Self-employed clients benefit just as much from this process — the structure is simply a little more nuanced
