Hooray Tax Day!

Just kidding. Unless you're you're a tax adviser (congrats, take a vacation), April 15 sucks. But over at Salon, they're making future Tax Days a little less suckier—at least for freelancers.





Catherine Price—a veteran self-employed writer—lays out some guidelines that make the devilishly complicated process a little less painful. Among her suggestions: set up a bank account for business cash flow; pay your taxes quarterly (so that you aren't charged interest); open an IRA; and—no matter how much it hurts—get yourself some health insurance (just like we suggested in our November/December issue).





No doubt Sara Horowitz and the Freelancers Union—who we profiled in our January /February issue (and who receive an appreciative nod from Price)—are proud.
