Today's the day for the second quarterly estimated tax installment, btw. I found a CPA by asking other people who are contractor-types (hairdresser, friends who are consultants, etc) who they use.

I'm glad you started this thread. Quarterly estimated taxes were due today and I had completely forgotten about it (again).

yah i havent sent mine, i really need to figure this shit out. this company needs to take me on full time

whoa this thread saved my ass, I didn't realize 2q was due today

That would have been the 3rd consecutive year I forgot 2q -- it always messes me up because it's only 2 months after the 1q deadline.

3q is going to hurt like a motherfucker, with the expenses I have coming up.

Minister of Finance: Something must be done! War would mean a prohibitive increase in our taxes.

Chico: Hey, I got an uncle lives in Taxes.

Minister of Finance: No, I'm talking about taxes -- money, dollars.

Chico: Dollars! There's-a where my uncle lives! Dollars, Taxes!

im apparently supposed to save about a 3rd of my income for taxes. ouch

The mileage deduction saved my ass last year. Brought my taxable income down to 'not too damn much' so I basically paid in $50 more than my tax rebate and still got full SSI/FICA/whatev credit.

this shit confuses me. I just took 10% of whatever I made contracting and paid that to federal. hopefully that'll work.

Since you have to pay self-employment tax (which is 15.3% for all income up to $102,000) on top of your regular income taxes, you might want to up that some.

i also work a fulltime non-contract job and max out my payments through that already

At the end of the tax year the IRS office sent an inspector to audit
the books of a Synagogue While he was checking the books he turned to
the Rabbi and said, 'I notice you buy a lot of candles. What do you
do with the candle drippings?'
'Good question,' noted the Rabbi 'We save them up and send them back
to the candle makers, and every now and then they send us a free box
of candles'
'Oh,' replied the auditor, somewhat disappointed that his unusual
question ha d a practical answer. But on he went, in his obnoxious
way:
'What about all these bread wafer purchases? What do you do with the
crumbs?'
'Ah, yes,' replied the Rabbi, realizing that the inspector was trying
to trap him with an unanswerable question. 'We collect them and send
them back to the manufacturer, and every now and then they send us a
free box of bread-wafers.'
'I see,' replied the auditor, thinking hard about how he could
fluster the know-it-all Rabbi. 'Well, Rabbi,' he went on, 'what do you do
with all the leftover foreskins from the circumcisions you perform?'
'Here, too, we do not waste,' answered the Rabbi. 'What we do is save
all the foreskins and send them to the IRS office, and about once a
year they send us a complete dick.'

felz u really are a glock-carrying irs agent??

didn't we have a more recent/active thread about filing taxes for writing/freelance income, like, last year? don't remember what it was called

there are a lot of threads about taxes.

clearly, yeah. there was just one in particular that i remembered that i wanted to see again but i couldn't remember what it was called (or even if it had 'taxes' in the title).

Here is another:
US INCOME TAX!
