taxes & the indie...

This is a hard topic for me... I use to have jobs where I ran creative departments and my employer took care of the tax thing. Then I freelanced and we just took more money out of John's check. That was back when making fonts was a hobby, and when it was a part time job. Well now that it is a full time job I have finally gotten on a schedule and pay estimated quarterly taxes. It has taken me a long time to get to this point.

I keep good records in an elaborate excel spreadsheet that John made me. After a tax fiasco I got a good accountant and finally feel like I am on track. In fact next month I go in and she will review our taxes so I know what to do to end my year...

Here is an excellent site I want to share... June Walker: Tax & Financial Advisor to the Self-Employed Now I am trying to figure out what deductions I can take for my blog. I see that she had some posts on that. Learning how to successfully do my taxes is I guess just like learning to make a good font. Something I just keep working at.
