A few excerpts to pique your interest
“WHY IS THIS BOOK DIFFERENT? well, because I'm an artist first. Not your dad's accountant. And I've seen some shit as a woman, as a mother, as a creative, and, is frankly, as a person without much money or power. Here are some exam-ples: I was fired from a museum job for complaining that my pay was half that of my male colleagues, I've experienced pregnancy discrimination, and I had a gallerist cancel a once-in-a-lifetime studio visit when I asked for an extra 15 minutes because I was actively having a miscarriage. I've been assumed to be financially incompetent because I'm an artist. The creative stereotype is harmful and untrue (you know it, right? The one that says you're a flaky creative and "bad with money?"). True, I care more about inspiring people than amassing money. But also, I'm not stupid. I know how fully capable you are, and if I can do it, you can too. Your exact experiences are likely different, and yet you too may feel alienated in accounting spaces because your experience is so different from the accountant's. Maybe your perspective has been shaped by financial discrimination, being a different personality type, or having very dif. ferent interests from people in accounting. Perhaps you have worked hard to become the expert you are, only to feel humiliated admitting you don't know much about taxes in front of a judgmental accountant. Many of us feel like a round peg in a square hole when we talk to financial professionals.” How do you get your money organized, your tax-savvy kicking, and your systems set up to put taxes and savings on autopilot, especially when you don't feel anywhere close to that point? I have one mantra for you: Aim for improvement, not perfection. Seeking perfection will keep you stuck and give you excuses to delay, ("Wait, I'm not done yet. Just one more detail....") It's an impossible standard that will ensure you never make it. Improvement, on the other hand, is 100% achievable. You, me, and the IRS already know that you're not perfect. Tax law doesn't require you to be. Wanna know what the IRS really does care about, though? Being on time. That is not an impossible standard. Also? The IRS is very consistent about penalties when you are late. You might be skimming this book to get your taxes done. I get it-I promise to help you do that. But let's talk for a minute about why you might feel allergic to growing your own wealth and why that might be holding you back. Her's the more amazing part. If I happen to have had taxes witheld from my salary (if it was W2, that would be required), then I have been prepaying taxes all year based on $60,000 of income. So when I actually do my taxes, I will have overpaid tax on that $10,000. In other words, I get a refund. A big one. Right in the most critical moment of my business, when cash is low and I'm most vulnerable. This is my favorite part of the tax code. It's poetic. The US government is nurturing your baby business through its infancy, with a big fat direct deposit into your bank account when you need it the most. Art school never taught me any of this. And I'm a little salty about it. This percentage of your home costs-which would normally not be deductible, because they're personal-now becomes deductible as a dedicated work space expense. She'll calculate 25% of her total home costs (rent, utilities, renter's insurance) as her home office expense, 1o If you live with roommates, their rooms don't count as part of your available personal space, so don't include that in your total square footage. If you work in an outbuilding like a garage or shed, you need to include the square footage of the shed in the total square footage of your home, In addition, you may fully deduct direct expenses. For example, if T have a home studio as a freelance sound engineer and i put soundproof. ing in my studio, that is 100% deductible. To document your home office, take photos of the full space and keep them in your tax files. " Use this to illustrate what you use it for and to prove that it is a 100% business purpose. Audits happen retroactively, so if you don't document your space while you live there, and then you move, you'll lose your proof. You've probably got a phone with a camera on it with you right now. Go ahead and snap those pics now. Seriously, I'll wait. While it's a fantastic deduction, you may take a home office expense only if you have a profit. 43 Items Used for Business and Personal: "Listed Property" It's normal to have certain items that are for both business and persons use. Examples include your car, your cell phone, or your computer. The ta term for this is listed property.4 The way to deduct these items is to make a reasonable calculation for your business usage and deduct only that percentage of the total," Fo example, I have a high-end camera that I use to document…

all those people fidgeting in the background know it too. How long can you stand there uncomfortably pinned by the seemingly endless stream of idiocy
