If you work for a gig app in the US they make you go thru this charade when doing taxes where you're treated and taxed as an independent business owner. joke country
making me enter a special code and fill out forms and pay for the 'deLuXe' tax software because only that can handle the right forms

Use freetaxusa. It's actually free. I haven't used it as an independent contractor, but it has worked well for my complicated finances.
I just switched last year and it worked great. I had like 4 other family members file as well through them without issue.
I did it with independent contractor stuff along with my normal job. Site supported both. I think the independent contractor form was like 1090 or 1099 or something? Can't fully remember.
A 1099 is what you receive from the company that you perform independent contractor services on behalf of in order to report your taxes to the IRS on your 1040 and Schedule C
I think if you have to file state taxes there is sometimes a small fee, but it's incredibly minimal. For federal taxes it is 100% completely and totally free and I use it each year.
