Some Helpful Links to Make Tax Time a Little Less Taxing

December 9th 2007 00:40

Freelancers' Holiday Visions

With both the holidays and the end of the tax year drawing nigh, freelancers tend to have a slightly different version of the line from the popular poem, 'Twas the Night Before Christmas on their minds. For us, Christmas is the time when "visions of tax returns dance in our heads"!


Some Helpful Links to Lighten Our Mental Load

So, to help take a load off our minds this Christmas, I've listed links to some really helpful info on filing taxes for freelance writers. Some are lists of links to other resources about income taxes, and others are discussions of tax-related topics of interest to freelancers. (You'll find some very slight overlap in these offerings.) My hope is that knowing we have these great resources at our fingertips will help us to have a merrier Christmas this year, as well as an easier job filing when tax time rolls around in just a few short months.

Thanks for the well timed links, Jeanne. It's hard to find tax resources online if you don't know how to describe what you're looking for (I don't). So thanks for saving me a ton of time. Brad Shorr

Hey, Brad!

No problem at all! I was happy to do it--for you and all my readers! With the hectic pace of modern life, it's always great to be able to save a little time whenever possible--and saving a "ton" of it is even better!

A "ton" of thanks for the visit!

Hi, Laura!

Glad to help! Some of these sites have multiple resource links to click once you get there! There's lots of helpful tax advice here for the taking, so there's bound to be something you can use.

Though the holidays are a busy time, spending a few minutes checking these out and bookmarking the ones that look promising could save a freelancer a great deal of time and trouble later!

Thanks for dropping by!

Taxes? Oh, my god, you just ruined my holiday season!

Anyway, I've passed along the misery to the readers of my blog as well. Thanks for tracking all that stuff down.

Sorry, Tom!

Didn't mean to put a damper on your holidays! Just figured I'd assemble all these resources in one place so everyone could use them whenever they were so inclined. Hopefully they'll help mitigate the tax-time misery to some extent! Thanks for passing along the info to your readers!

And thanks for your comment!
Jeanne
