Start filingSole proprietors are individuals who own an unincorporated business by themselves. Many independently-run freelancing jobs or “side-hustles” are considered sole proprietorships. It is also the simplest business structure – for example, sole proprietors don’t need an Employer Identification Number, or EIN, unless they plan to hire employees. They also don’t have to file a separate income tax return. Instead, they simply report business income and expenses on their personal income tax return using Schedule C.
