I'm making way more than I thought I would per week (about twice as much as I estimated) so I have decided that it would make more sense to pay taxes (as I'm making over 13,500 or whatever # that is exempt). If I keep going at this rate, starting with the month of September, I will make between 20 and 25K from sept-dec. I didn't keep record of jan-may because my life was a fucking wreck, but I didn't make that much, I only worked February and March straight through, April sporadically, and then not at all May and June... worked a week in july-- but I didn't keep track because everything was crazy.
So..... would it be all that bad to just pay taxes on what I make starting from when I *officially* went back to dancing at the end of August? I've been keeping every receipt and keeping track of my earnings and tip outs and everything. I want to pay taxes on the 20-25K or so I make so that when I go to buy a car or whatever... I will have proof of income.
If I have 2,000 worth of deductions and I make 20000, that means I pay taxes on 18,000 of what I made right?? Also, if I'm living in a different state but I'm a resident in another state, do I pay taxes to the state I'm living in (where my address is) or where I'm a resident (where the address on my license is?). Are taxes cheaper in FL or CO?
Would you recommend I find an accountant or just get turbotax???
