Frequently asked questions
How do freelancers do bookkeeping?
Keep business money separate, record and categorize every income and expense, save receipts, and set aside taxes as you earn. Software that imports bank transactions and stores receipts turns this into a few minutes a week.
Do freelancers need to pay quarterly taxes?
Most do. If you expect to owe $1,000+ for the year, the IRS generally expects quarterly estimated payments. Tracking year-to-date profit makes sizing each payment easy.
