Tutor and Educator Tax Challenges We Solve

Most tutors struggle with taxes because income comes from multiple platforms, irregular student payments, and scattered expenses. WBB removes the guesswork so you file accurately and keep more of your earnings. 

You focus on your work. We handle the tax complexity. 

Your Tutor and Educator Tax Documents at a Glance

We pull and organize the documents tutors and educators receive so you do not guess. 

1099-NEC

Issued by platforms, schools, or private clients who paid you 600 dollars or more. Covers tutoring sessions, online teaching, lesson packages, and bonuses. 

1099-K

Issued only if you exceeded 200 transactions and 20,000 dollars in student payments through Stripe, PayPal, Square, or tutoring platforms that process payments.

Earnings Summaries

Platforms such as Wyzant, Varsity Tutors, OutschoolPreply, and TakeLessons provide year-end summaries showing class hours, fees, commissions, and payouts.

WBB Tip: 1099-K forms report gross revenue. Platform fees, commissions, subscription costs, software, and teaching materials must be deducted separately. WBB does this automatically so you do not overpay tax.
