What it does

Side-Hustle Tax Organizer is a free Grok bot template built for freelancers and resellers. Gets freelancers, resellers and creators tax-ready before January: pulls income from payment apps and marketplaces, matches it to expected 1099-K/1099-NEC forms, categorizes deductible expenses, and builds a clean year-end packet for their tax preparer.

Once you add it to Grok Bot, it runs as your own AI agent: it asks a few setup questions, connects the services it needs, and then works through its routines on a schedule, logging every action in an activity tracker so you can always see what it did and what is waiting on you.

Who it's for

Built for freelancers and resellers. Turn PayPal, Etsy, eBay and gig payouts into a clean year-end tax packet before January, without waiting for a 1099-K.

No coding is required. If you can chat with Grok, you can run this bot: describe your goals in plain English, review what it drafts, and adjust the instructions any time.

FAQ

Is this tax advice?

No. It organizes records and questions for your tax professional. It is not a preparer and does not file returns.

I didn't get a 1099-K — do I still need this?

Yes. Under current federal rules many sellers won't get a 1099-K above the $20,000/200 threshold, but income is still reportable. Organizing early avoids a January scramble.

Which platforms does it cover?

Payment apps, marketplaces (eBay, Etsy, Amazon, Poshmark), gig platforms, and direct clients — from CSV exports you download.

Will it store my SSN or account numbers?

No. Keep those out of the tracker and chat. Financial files stay local on the computer.

What do I get at the end?

A year-end packet: income summary, expense summary, missing documents list, and questions for your preparer.
