I really wish we’d switch to a national sales tax or something and do away with the IRS and filing every year.

On another note, I’m watching TV Sunday night and suddenly realized that I totally forgot about my taxes.

First time that’s ever happened. So I guess I’ll have to pay a penalty on top of what I already owe.

The good news is, you’re a self-employed writer!

In response to a challenge by Laura of Writing Thoughts I’ve done a post on the ghostwriting topic kicked off by Devon. It seems to be sparking debate around various writers’ sites.

It’s been an interesting discussion, and reading your comments on the topic, has helped me learn more about how a ghostwriter works.

I cited you as an example of a good ghostwriter to hire.

Thanks for the insights.

Your stomach will thank you. 🙂

I loved it when you could fill out the forms directly, but then they took away that ability and went to the “interview” type of functioning. Takes so long, but it’s really thorough, help is available at your fingertip, and it never made a mistake. I’ve also used Excel for keeping track during the year, and I use Quicken for personal finances,too.

A few years back, I also learned to tackle the schedules first. Of course, just when we all figure it out, that’s when they’ll change everything and we’ll have to start all over again!

Seriously—it saves you money.

I had that for years before I realized I wasn’t disciplined enough to work with it properly. :))
