Excellent article as usual Bob! However one tiny thing I found out for myself last year. On the taxes, if you make below a few hundred per year, you can claim it at the end of the year and pay your taxes once. It only works for part timers, If you even think you will make more, make the estimated tax payments! Lots less headaches!

This is a great series of articles.

Gonna print these out, staple them and put them in my filing cabinet, just in case you decide to take down this dynamite!

I do not know HOW I maanged to miss the first part of this series. I am very very guilty of sin #1.Great series, I shall not miss any more of it.

PS- Are these sins still “deadly” if I’m atheist? Just wondering.

Alex – we don’t pay taxes 4x a year…but if you aren’t taking out payments for the IRS on a regular basis (like you would if you received a normal W2 form), then you have to pay the government estimated payments based on what you THINK you’re going to make. you pay them 4x a year and then hopefully that keeps you from owing a huge amount come tax day. give them too much and you get a refund. dont give them enough, and well, you can guess what happens.

@ Nicole – you’re welcome. I’m glad you’re enjoying the series.

@ Liam. The good news is that it is possible to regain lost ground, as long as you get to it!

@ James – Excellent perspective, as always. And I’m sure you’ve missed an opportunity somewhere. Not sure where, though :)

@ Dave – That’s why we need 30 hour days, no?

@ Alex check out the IRS web site or talk to any accountant familiar with small business. You have to send in income tax estimates quarterly.
