A recent issue of Hope Clark's Funds for Writers featured an article by Thursday Bram entitled What Your Tax Preparer Wants to See From You.
Jill Kemerer shares more great information over at her blog. She offers financial planning links and self employment tips for this writing life.
Since tax season is upon us, I'm open to any good tips I can find. How about you? Have any savvy tax tips for your writer friends? Please share them with us!
Happy Writing:)
Will check them out, Karen. You are always so thoughtful in wanting to pass on information to others. Thank you so much. Sincerely, Susan from writingstraightfromtheheart.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteHi Susan,
ReplyDeleteAlways nice to see you here:) Thanks for the compliment. I try and pass along info that I find helpful.

Karen
ECK! Tax season. I use to have to deal with this every day. ECK!
ReplyDeleteMake sure to claim your personal office, if you have one. Just a desk and a chair and WALA. Even gas and mileage to critique group meetings can be counted as business expense.
Have a great day!!
Robyn,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tips!
Blessings:)
Karen
Thanks so much for mentioning my blog! Taxes for the self-employed can be confusing. Thanks for the great tips!
ReplyDeleteJill,
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome. Stopping at your blog is always worth it, and fun too:)

Wish I had tips, but I don't, other than keeping paperwork in order.
ReplyDeleteAck. Don't you just wish we could get rid of taxes??
Jessica,
ReplyDeleteWell, keeping paperwork in order is the important step we all need to keep in mind! Yes, I'd like to pass on taxes too, but somehow don't think that'll happen till heaven:)
Blessings!
Hi Karen -
ReplyDeleteI keep all my writing expenses in a separate folder for easy access.
Blessings,
Susan :)
Susan R.,
ReplyDeleteGood advice! Need to stay organized, that's for sure.

Thanks for mentioning my article. I've also written about freelance taxes on my own site (thursdaybram.com) — it's a topic that there is just so much information on.
ReplyDeleteMost recently, my CPA recommended using a credit card (separate from all other accounts) for business expenses, to make tracking them easier.
Thursday,
ReplyDeleteHello and thanks for stopping by! Your articles on FFW were helpful; I appreciate the info. Will visit your website.
Thanks for commenting,

I'm just thrilled to finally have some income and expenses to report!! I guess I'm a writer now. :) Thanks for the links.
ReplyDeleteMy only suggestion comes from personal bad habits - don't put off organization till the last minute!
Jan,
ReplyDeleteThat is an important tip! No fun to learn the hard way. Thanks for coming by:)

No, I have NOOOOO tax or $$ tips. Just awful with both of them.
ReplyDeleteSo glad my hubby helps out in this area.
Cooking good meals is a cheap price for a good $-manager. LOL

Thanks for the links, I'm heading there next. My only tax tip is to keep the reciepts of any mailed submissions.
