Taxes for Bloggers Made Easy!

5 Common Tax Mistakes Bloggers Make (That Could Cost You!)

5 Common Tax Mistakes Bloggers Make (That Could Cost You!)

Bloggers have to learn a lot as they go.  I don’t know about you, but when I started my first blog I just basically started posting.  I didn’t know anything about formatting, SEO, social media.  Like most bloggers, I had to learn as I went along.

Something I love about blogging is that I can make mistakes.  Mistakes are inevitable, but I can then go back and fix them.  I can learn and improve.

One area you don’t want to be making mistakes?  Your taxes.  Little mistakes can lead to big penalties.

I’m not trying to freak you out.  It’s just that there is a lot of ‘tax tips’ that circulate that just aren’t right.  I want to help try to clear the confusion.  Here are 5 common tax mistakes bloggers make.

Bookkeeping Tasks for Bloggers: Checklists for the Entire Year

Bookkeeping tasks for bloggers

As you get more and more into blogging you learn that there is a lot more to it than just writing something and pushing publish.  It can get overwhelming until you get some sort of system down.  I find it really helpful to have checklists to remind me of important tasks.

The business side of blogging is the same. There can be a lot to keep track of, so having a checklist of what to do when can help keep you from missing things.

In the early stages of blogging and making money blogging, the bookkeeping tasks are relatively straightforward.  They can be done without fancy bookkeeping software or accounting software.

I personally think it is really important for anyone running a business to have hands-on experience with the tax side of their business.  For one, small business owners usually aren’t in a position to have extra money on a professional bookkeeper.

But more than that the best way to be a savvy business owner is to know what is happening in every aspect of their business, at least at the basic level.  The best way to get that information is to do it yourself.

Don’t worry, I can help you with what to do when.  Here is a list of bookkeeping jobs you should be doing throughout the year.
