I'm not. I've been keeping track of the income, I've already hired an accountant.

I was actually joking but if you do file spend as much money as you can on your new business...take your neighbors(s) clients to lunch, buy some tool/supplies etc.

You really shouldn't need an accountant it's very simple to do by following the instructions or you can just use a tax program.

It's good you're doing that...because, if you ever did work for a business, they'd of course want an invoice, so they had a paper trail for their own accounting purposes, and, in the event the client got audited - they might come across your invoce, and, just for fun, peek and see if you reported any income from a self-employment source. If you didn't, you'd be next on the list for an audit.

If you make enough, you should look into forming an S-corp.
