So I just submitted my 2008 tax returns just “under the wire.”
And is it just me, or am I paying a LOT of taxes this year?
Not only do I pay my sales tax on a quarterly basis…
but I also have to file my annual federal & state income taxes!!!
Conceptually, I get it… but it still hurts.
As a self-employed artist, it seems like the more I work, the more I pay.
It’s frustrating. Just when you think you’re getting a little ahead…
and the bank account is starting to show some upward momentum,
Tax Day comes around and whacks you right upside the head!!!
Plus, as a freelance”contractor” at the special events gig, none of my income
is taxed… nice on payday, but it comes back to bite you at tax time.
It’s painful... but at least it’s done for another year!
