This year will be the first year I've made so much as a dime from writing. This is also going to be the first year it takes me more than fifteen minutes to do my taxes!
I'm wondering if anyone knows of any good resources I can go to for issues such as doing my quarterly estimated taxes, self-employment taxes, tax deductions for business-related expenses... all that sort of thing. I've poked around the IRS site and it has some useful information, but it would be great if there were something specific to the issues faced by writers.
(And not one of those scammy books that says wannabe screenwriters can deduct movie tickets.)
(And I really like math, so I'm probably going to try to do this without an accountant.)
