Ah, Tax Season! The word alone strikes fear in the heart of any creative freelancer whose pile of 1099s reaches higher than the latte purchased at their local coffee spot, AKA their “office”.
If you’ve reached the point where your passion has become your bread-and-butter, and you want to know if forming your own business is the way to go, you might want to check out one of our Community Resources partners, BizFilings.
As a freelance filmmaker or writer, BizFilings can help guide you through incorporation and licensing, while offering the compliance support your business needs to operate properly. Basically, they are like a biz-sherpa giving you guidance at every turn! And as a Tongal community member, you can access their services at a 20% discount.
If you don’t know where to begin, their Incorporation Wizard is a simple tool for determining which business type best aligns with your needs. Plus, they’ve made it easy to understand the difference between each business type with detailed overviews.
It goes without saying, we recommend speaking with a lawyer and/or CPA before making any business decisions. Learn more about BizFilings and access your Tongaler-given right to a 20% discount here: http://www.bizfilings.com/tongal.aspx
