Javed Niamat
Founder & Editor, GigTax
Javed Niamat founded GigTax to make self-employment tax math understandable for rideshare drivers, delivery couriers, creators and freelancers. He builds and maintains every calculator on this site and writes the guides that explain the numbers behind them.
What he covers
- Self-employment tax (Schedule SE) and the 92.35% net-earnings rule
- Quarterly estimated payments, Form 1040-ES and safe-harbor rules
- Standard mileage vs. actual expenses for gig drivers
- 1099-NEC / 1099-K reporting and Schedule C line-by-line
Credentials & sourcing
GigTax is an independent, self-funded project — not a CPA firm or an enrolled-agent practice. Every rate, threshold and deadline published here is taken from primary IRS publications and updated when the IRS changes them. Guides are educational, not individual tax advice.
