10 Steps for Setting Up a Side Hustle - Step #9 Taxes and Small Business
OK, so let me start by saying, I am NOT an accountant. I pay to have my taxes done each year, both my regular 9 – 5 job AND my side hustle. Because it makes no sense to pretend I know what I’m doing, when it could mean penalties, a sudden note from the IRS and money due that I didn’t plan for. You get the idea. But there are definitely some resources and things to consider when it comes to ramping up your business, building your customer base, and some day maybe going pro. Taxes are a consideration that needs to be given time. And you might as well start things off with the appropriate expectations.
