Tax Time

In the United States of America, it is tax time.  No one likes to do their taxes.

Did you know, that if you are a writer and published something, you might be able to claim it on your taxes.

1.  Save all receipts that spend on your writing.

2.  Save all your receipts if you go to a writer's conference

3.  Find a good Tax Person, who is willing to go that extra mile for your deductions and won't belittle you, when you don't make a lot of money.

4.  Amazon will send you something that tells you how much you made last year or you can just get it off your dashboard at your Amazon page.

5.  If you didn't do this last year, start now.  If you are not the most organized person, grab an envelope and put the receipts in the envelope throughout the year.


WARNING!!!!
If you are one of the lucky ones that will get a Huge royalty deposit one month, contact a tax person, because you will have to pay taxes on that.  So don't go and spend all your royalties before you know how much taxes you will have to Pay

An elderly rich man told me once, Never get the IRS mad at you.  Pay your taxes.

Good advice.
Search for a Good Tax Person

Write No Matter What

I woke up and felt like a truck hit me.  I still turned my computer on and started writing.  That is the only way the story is going to get written.  Do I feel like writing?  Nope.  Do if feel like Blogging?  Nope.  I write cause that is what I do.  So I poured me a soda and let the caffine take its effect.  I have to get ready for work in a bit, I blooged, I wrote a bit, so I am still going in the write direction. I write no matter what.  whether I feel like  it or not. Have a great day. http://sharonleejohnson.com/
