3 Simple Tax Tips for Self-Employed People

April 21, 2020 by John Schmoll

I used to enjoy doing our taxes. I know, I’m a dork, but I genuinely liked sitting down at the end of the year to see how everything shook out for the previous 12 months. We didn’t have anything too extravagant going on so it was fairly straightforward.
