turbo tax is pretty good if you do it yourself. as long as you save receipts or have some sort of record you did something for the biz, you should be ok to write it off.

Four years since I salary gig. Way prefer the freelance life. Just gotta keep talking to peopleabout work. There are times when I've been slow but you work through them.

I'm 60 days into my freelance life so far and it's going good. My 2nd time here but this time I know the game.

Congrats, the first few months should be the hardest. If those go smooth, especially in a weak economy, you should do just fine.
Almost 2 years here. Can't believe it has been that long. Things were slowing down, but now the work is starting pile up. Here I thought I was going to need to go looking for it.
Tax time... shit.

just started the freelance thing... so does anyone do any cold calling, or do you simply network to find the jobs?
- doesnotexist0
i rarely have to network really, usually the work gets more work.
- kerus0
i usually just throw some feelers out, email some old friends..
"heads up, looking to take on new projects"..cold calls make my bowels gurgle
- SigDesign0
great cause I do not want to be a sales man
- kerus0
friends of friends will give you the warmest receptions.
