Are you a self-employed freelancer, contractor or home based entrepreneur? If you are, then you have your quarterly taxes due by September 15th. Why do you owe taxes? As a freelancer or someone who provides their own service for an income, you don’t have your taxes taken out of your paycheck like most employees do. That means you as a self employed individual need to make sure you pay the same amount of taxes as if you had taxes taken out automatically. If this is all new to you, let’s talk about some information that might be important for you to know.

What Information Do I Need to Know in Order To Do My Taxes?

So let’s get a little bit of background on what you need for each quarter in order to do your taxes successfully. For each quarter, you must fill out form 1040. Form 1040 is where you calculate and record your income, tips, social security tax, and Medicare tax. The IRS has it set up as a “pay-as-you-go” system, so as you make an income, they will require you to pay taxes on that income you make in each quarter. That is what the form 1040 you have to fill out is for. In order to fill out the 1040, you need to have some basic information. The information you need include your financial records, mileage log, out-of-pocket expenses, personal expenses paid from your business account, and any 1099’s. All of this information is important so your tax forms can be filled out accurately.
