Taxes

topic posted Sun, October 1, 2006 - 11:14 AM by  Nightwind
Just got a job, they are paying me fully for my hourly wadge, meaning that taxes are all up to me.

Dont know how to go about that, other than save 40% of my paycheck for the taxes, but other than that...clueless

What do other freelancers do about their taxes?

    I would love to know about this too. I was an office geek for years and it was all straight-forward and taken care of for me. But this year, I went freelance and am afraid I'll get hit with a tax bill next year.

    Anyone know about when we should be charging sales tax too?

      Great Book- Working for Yourself by Nolo
      has all the answers.

      Bottom line is make sure you write off everything and anything to bring your taxes down.
      Expect to pay 10% or more.
      So as an example $4,000 if you made $40,000 and are smart with deductions.
