Hey all. i'm new to the whole dance world. no one i know around here pays taxes at any of the clubs ive worked at (or my other dancer-friends)....and they have been dancing for years. how does"the man"
catch you? but thats not what im even worried about (just wondering) b/c i wanna start going legit ASAP. do i need to hire an accountant? b/c i have NO IDEA what to do...
do you ladies actually get anything BACK at the end of the year (i.e. like if you save receipts for outfits, shoes, makeup and whatnot) and then get your tax check like at other jobs?
someone mentioned the housewife thing...now i know housewifes do NOT usually buy knee high leather boots/7-in clear platforms or sexy taxi cab out fits right? i need to know b/c right know i am workin of clothes i make, shoes that hurt and i want to spend money on good things, but how do i PROVE they are all for dancing?? also, do you keep track of all your tipping out (bar, dj, etc...) and house fees? do you get THOSE back also?
do you think an accountant will give me a free consultation, also, how do i go about FINDING a good one?
how many of you actually HAVE an accountant and about how much do you pay him and what exactly does he do for you?
and then ladies, how many of you just do it on your own....props to ya btw!
a lot of questions i know, but i have nowhere else to go! help me fellow dancers!
any answers would be help. thanks gals!
oh, and i live in tampa if that makes a difference....i know different states/different laws.
