Schedule C is the Key - Tax Savings for Freelancers with Ellen Zachos
If you’re a freelancer and you’re NOT filing a Schedule C, you’re leaving money on the table. Learn what you can (and cannot) deduct as business expenses, and how to best work within your rights as a taxpayer. Many freelancers don’t take advantage of the deductions available to them, and some take advantage of things they shouldn’t! I have not only worked for a tax accountant for 10+ years, but also came through an IRS audit of my own with shining colors. Good record keeping and an understanding of how the IRS views freelancers, their history of profit and loss, and their legitimate expenses made the difference. You owe it to yourself to learn how to pay the least possible tax within the scope of the current tax law.
