I love being self-employed. Having the ability to pick and choose when and where I work and not having any real boss to answer to is awesome. The only bad thing about self-employment is the taxes. The first year that I was self-employed, I made several mistakes that cost me a lot of money when the time came to file my taxes at the beginning of the year. If you are self-employed, this blog can help you avoid those same mistakes and get through tax season without a huge tax bill that takes you the entire year to pay off.
