What it does for you
Schedule C Expense Tracker, in plain terms.
No shoebox in January
Expense categories map to Schedule C lines (including the new 2026 vehicle loan lines 16a/16b/16c). The summary totals Parts I to V.
Mileage, logged by trip
The mileage log applies the IRS standard rate for the trip date. Rates sit on Settings as editable inputs with their irs.gov source.
Quarterly estimates in one place
2026 Form 1040-ES due dates, planned vs paid, confirmation numbers and a status for each quarter.
Business-use % and meals share applied for you
Plus a check of gross receipts against the 1099-NEC / 1099-K forms you expect, and a 22-item year-end document checklist.

What's included
1 .xlsx file (12 tabs).
- UYNOS Schedule C Tracker (.xlsx)Start here, Settings, Income log (500 rows), Expenses log (1,000 rows), Mileage log (500 trips), Quarterly estimates, Schedule C summary, Year-End checklist, Dashboard, Checks, Read Me, Lists.
- Fictional sample dataThe Start here tab lists exactly which ranges to clear.
IRS figures (mileage rates, due dates, meals percentage) are inputs on the Settings tab, each with its irs.gov link, taken in November 2026. Nothing is hard-coded in a formula; for another year, type the new figures. The 50% meals share comes from the 2025 Schedule C instructions because the 2026 instructions were not yet posted, so please re-check it.
How it works
Three steps.
Download the file from your Etsy account (Purchases) and open the Start here tab.
Type your own numbers in the input cells (colour-coded; the legend is on the Start here and Read Me tabs). Formula cells calculate everything else.
Read the Dashboard. If Checks says ERROR, the Checks tab tells you what to fix.
Compatibility
What we checked, and what we have not.
Recalculated and checked in LibreOffice Calc, with the results compared against a separate calculation.

Honest limits
What it is not.
- Not tax, legal or accounting advice. It organizes your records. It does not calculate income tax, self-employment tax, safe-harbor amounts or penalties, and it does not file anything.
- Line 16b (vehicle loan) is new on the 2026 form and its instructions were not yet out when this was made. Confirm with the instructions or your preparer.
- Not connected to your bank, QuickBooks or any other software.
- Not a physical product. Nothing is shipped.
Can I use it for a tax year other than 2026?
Yes. Change the tax year, rates and due dates on Settings. The category-to-line map is for the 2026 Schedule C, so check it against the form for your year.
Does it work for a single-member LLC?
It follows Schedule C, which a single-member LLC taxed as a sole proprietorship usually files. Ask your tax professional what applies to you.
Does it calculate how much tax I owe?
No, by design. The quarterly tab records what you plan and what you pay.
Will it work in Microsoft Excel?
It is built for Excel 2016 or later and Microsoft 365, using standard worksheet functions only (no macros, add-ins, external links or passwords). Our own testing so far was done outside Excel (see Compatibility above). If anything does not work in your Excel, the 14-day file guarantee applies.
How do I use it in Google Sheets?
Upload the .xlsx to Google Drive and open it with Google Sheets (or File > Import). Chart styling can look slightly different from Excel.
How do I get the file?
You buy on Etsy and download the .xlsx from your Etsy account (Purchases). It is a digital file; nothing is shipped.
What is the refund policy?
If the file will not open or calculate correctly in current Excel or Google Sheets, message us through Etsy (or email support@uynos.com) within 14 days of purchase. If we cannot fix it within 2 business days, we refund you in full. Because files download instantly, we do not refund for change of mind. Your consumer rights under local law still apply.
What does the license allow?
Single-user license: use it for your own business or for your own clients. Please do not resell or share the file itself.
How was it made?
Designed by UYNOS with AI-assisted tools and reviewed by a finance professional (a CFO with 20+ years of experience). Results were checked by recalculating the file and comparing against a separate calculation. The images on this page are renders of the actual file with fictional sample data.
It calculates from the figures you enter and does not know your full tax position or legal obligations. It is not IRS-reviewed and does not file anything. Check your inputs and talk to a qualified accountant or tax professional before making tax, financing or legal decisions.
