Self-Employed Taxes: What Freelancers NEED to Know

What every freelancer and self-employed earner needs to know about taxes and quarterly payments! With a 1040-ES, we have to pay estimates four times a year and pray that things work out in the end. Learn how to set yourself up for a happy(ish) tax year with accurate estimated payments every quarter.

In today's video, I'm sharing a story of the time things went terribly wrong and landed me with a huge surprise tax bill in April, and what I've done so that it never happens again! PLUS, I'll talk through three freelance tax tips from my tax accountant.
