Notary fees, signings, and mileage — handled, for signing agents.
Mobile notaries and loan signing agents are self-employed with a tax quirk most miss. Gigaverse tracks your signing mileage, handles quarterly taxes, and auto-saves for retirement.
Connects with the platforms you already use
The notary SE-tax exemption
Fees you earn for performing notarial acts are exempt from self-employment tax (they’re still subject to income tax). Fees for non-notarial work — like courier or signing-agent services beyond the notarization — generally are subject to SE tax. Gigaverse helps you keep the categories straight. General information, not tax advice.
Signing mileage adds up
At the 2026 IRS standard mileage rate of $0.725/mi, business miles add up fast. Many gig drivers miss thousands in mileage deductions each year; Gigaverse auto-tracks every business mile so the write-off is there at tax time.
Retirement without an employer
The PRActicle™ is a portable Roth IRA opened through a FINRA/SIPC-member broker-dealer that auto-invests a percentage of every payout. Contributions are post-tax, grow tax-free, and qualified withdrawals are tax-free. It follows you across every platform and client — no employer 401(k) required.
Quarterly taxes, handled
With no withholding on your fees, you owe estimated taxes quarterly. Gigaverse estimates each payment and reminds you before the deadline.
Notary Signing Agent questions, answered
Are notary fees subject to self-employment tax?+

What can a mobile notary deduct?+
Business mileage at $0.725/mi (2026), bond and E&O insurance, supplies, and a business percentage of your phone on Schedule C. Gigaverse categorizes these automatically.
Can signing agents open a retirement account?+
Yes — the portable PRActicle™ IRA (via a FINRA/SIPC-member broker-dealer) auto-saves from your fees. No employer plan needed.
