I would really appreciate any help I can get on the whole tax issue. I don't mind paying taxes, but I have no idea on HOW you go about it when your a dancer. A lot of the dancers at my club don't pay taxes, because we are told the club shreds everything, and there is no evidence of us working there. I don't know if I believe that.... I'd rather just pay, instead of risk getting slammed later in life.
I just need a Paying Taxes for Dummies course. Honestly, I know nothing about it. I tried doing a search, but didn't come up with everything I need for info.
One girl at my club filed taxes, and said she got money back because she proved that with driving costs, ect she LOST money working at the club. She didn't, but still. Since we are independant contractors, and deal with cash, how does the gov know what we are and aren't making? How much do you record for taxes?
I've only filed taxes once. It was simple as pie. My job (I worked retail) mailed me my W-2, and my friend did it all online for me.And then a few days later they deposited money into my back account!
But I assume, now I'll be paying taxes in? Instead of getting money back.
So please, I apologize for sounding so stupid, but I'm young and naive, and want to learn all about this, so I can cover my ass. But if I can cut a few corners, any tips would be appreicated, also.![]()
