Are you feeling overwhelmed by all the different terms and acronyms when it comes to taxes?

You're not alone! Let's break it down together. Tax ID, TIN, FEIN...what do they all mean? In reality, they're all referring to the same thing: your Employer Identification Number (EIN).

Think of it as a social security number for your business. It's important to have one in order to properly register your business and pay taxes. But don't worry, it's not as complicated as it may seem.

PSA FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS

Being an Independent Contractor means dealing with tax forms and filing the right documents at tax time.

The W-9 form, also known as “Request for Taxpayer Identification Numbers and Certification” is essential to fill out before engaging in freelance work or paying anyone who provides services that aren't your employees - such as second shooters, editors, virtual assistants, subcontractors etc… Likewise, if you are a photographer providing these services to someone else it's important they receive a signed W-9 from you.

We understand how complicated this can be, so we want to assure all photographers there ARE solutions available – just reach out!

My team and I are here to help make sure that your business is fully compliant come tax time...and now is the time to start making sure everything is in order.

As a savvy business owner, you understand the critical importance of keeping impeccable financial records. And what better tool to accomplish this task than QuickBooks?

But before diving headfirst into the world of QuickBooks, there's one critical thing you'll want to keep in mind.

QuickBooks offers several different versions, including QuickBooks Desktop, QuickBooks Online, and QuickBooks Self-Employed. However, I highly recommend avoiding QuickBooks Self-Employed.

While it may seem like a convenient option at first glance, it lacks many of the features and functionality you'll need to effectively manage your business finances. So, be sure to choose wisely and opt for one of the more robust QuickBooks options instead.

Ask me how you can get my special rates on QuickBooks Online! Comment QBO below.

Working with photographers on a daily basis, I've seen quite a few misconceptions when it comes to the financial aspect of running a photography business. But that's why I'm here.

As a financial expert, it's my job to help photographers understand the ins and outs of managing their finances. Believe it or not, one of the biggest mistakes I see photographers make is relying solely on their CRM to manage everything from client relationships to bookkeeping.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but there's no all-in-one app that can handle everything for you. Every photographer who runs a business needs a professional bookkeeping app.

Don't worry, though. With my guidance, you'll be able to manage your finances with ease and get back to doing what you do best - capturing those perfect moments.

Being self-employed comes with a lot of perks, but it also means taking on some additional responsibilities like managing your own finances, including taxes.

As a self-employed individual, it's important to stay on top of your estimated tax payments to avoid any unexpected tax burdens down the road.

Did you know that there are four payments due each year, with each payment due in April, June, September, and January of the next tax year?

That means your next payment is due on April 18th - Tax Day! Don't worry, you're not alone in this.

We've got some great resources on our blog and Youtube channel to help you navigate estimated tax payments like a pro.

Did you know that Estimated Taxes are due in just six days?

There's a step-by-step resource that can guide you through the entire process, including everything you need to know about Estimated Taxes and how to handle them.
