What is Ardent Seller? An all-in-one business platform for small-batch makers — multi-location inventory, recipes and production runs, purchases and sales, COGS and pricing, audit trail, and Schedule C–ready reports.
Free Quarterly Estimated Tax Worksheet
A free Excel worksheet for self-employed makers — log income, set filing status, and the four IRS estimated-tax payments calculate themselves. SE tax (15.3%) and federal income tax brackets built in, with a safe-harbor escape hatch on its own tab.
Free, no email required.
