Well.
As a former tax accountant, I haven't finished massaging my 2018 taxes - yet.
so don't have my final figures.
But income is somewhere between 69 & 79K form the day job, and an indeterminate amount from the side hustle.
Taxes ... well it appears (for now) at first glance I'll owe a couple grand Thanks, Orange man.

Thanks, Orange man.
In Australia our financial year is from 1 July to 30 June. So for the financial year between 1 July 2017 and 30 June 2018 I only earned around $30K gross with about 25K income. Most of that was from work considered to be subcontracting so I still owed about $400.
I had more work during the 2018 tax season though. Made about 19K gross and paid about $4.1K to the govt with that taxwork . Been back delivery driving (as a subcontractor) since mid-November though but I've used my tax knowledge to help myself out. Started putting money in my superannuation (kinda like the US 401K) every week, which I can claim in my tax return. I can claim the cost of my tax agent certification course, and of course my car since I use it for delivery driving.
I'm expecting a gross income of about 45K, taxable income of about 36K and about $500 tax back.
Not as much as you rich fuckers, but like
@Jesus X I don't have taste for the 'finer things in life' I buy $5 T-shirts, rock an iPhone5, get cheap (but oh so tasty) Asian good as my indulgent takeaway and fly low-cost airlines when I travel (which isnt much nowadays). My 36K goes further than a lot of people who earn double that here.
Oh and I also dont have that many 'real' friends nowadays, so I dont spend a heap of money on going out and buying alcohol etc etc

Profess the good word in ebook form and then tax deduct your computer, internet, and travel for your book tour. And don't forget to set up a dedicated home office (no other uses!!) to deduct that square footage percent of your mortgage.
Hell your book publishing can be a co-op so @Lars can be part owner of his own means of production
And wait for the audit. The home office is the quickest way to invite an audit.
That's true actually which is why I don't use it. I also let people sleep in my office as a mixed use area. Just pointing out the system doesn't do much for noble professors. Noble professors with a podcast or book deal...that's way different.
The IRS hates that deduction. The write off isn’t worth the cost of the audit.

Exactly! Just look at how the system tried to railroad beloved professor and respected clinical researcher, J.B. Peterson. Luckily, like a phoenix, he rose above the ashes of their reductive ideology to become stronger, more focused and more effective than ever.

The shame of your country is about to debate Zizek in a couple weeks. It should be an amusing embarrassment for all involved.Exactly!

Best books to learn about doing your own Taxes?
Hmmm.
Probably this one:
However, I'd encourage you to also (or instead) get Turbo Tax - designed for your situation.
Doing a regular long form 1040A? Get the 'Deluxe' edition. Own a small/side business? Get the 'Premier' Edition. Large business? Get the 'Home and Business' edition. etc.
And follow the guidelines. It will show you if you've made any errors or if there are any audit red flags which you can fix to comply.
Also if you over-deduct, it will alert you. Can't go wrong as long as you follow the suggestions.
how long does it have to be to donate? My hair is fucking glorious when it's grown long.
But long hair such a PITA, I'd have to be doing it for a good cause...
like 10 inches long for donation
I usually just send like 12 inches or so
this time I went full 24 inches
I got that hair that ladies wanna steal(used to get lots of poontang with it before I settled) wavy thick brown
Yes it can be a pain in the ass no doubt
Seriously?? We claim a square footage of our house as a home office since we both work from home. My wife also claims mileage. I pray we never get audited. Now you have me freaked out lol.
