I mentioned this in an earlier post...but I was wondering if any one out there has started their own business, sole proprietorship, etc. just solely for dancing.
My goal for the next few years is to dance, probably in several states, and also work some part- or full-time 'straight jobs' where I will be receiving W2s.
But along with dancing, I want to make costumes, do phone sex, and all other kinds of independent contractor work. And I want to be able to write off the cost of sewing supplies, a prepaid phone to keep contact with custies all over the nation (that is separate from my personal phone), I want a separate bank account so I don't confuse the gifts I get from family (occasionally my mom will put something like 100 dollars in my bank account out of the goodness of her heart) with income and I can keep everything straight, etc. etc. etc.
Is it possible to run a business that includes dancing income (as an independent contractor) and income from selling clothes or other goods? Just an "all in one" kind of thing?
If so, what's the next step? Is it difficult to register a business?
Also...anyone know any good bookkeeping tools? Quicken, etc.?
If anyone can recommend any good books, other threads (I did some searches but didn't find exactly what I wanted), or any other advice I would love it. Thanks again for the help I've received on this forum. If it weren't for SW I would be evading taxesand not being realistic.
