Questionable Questing

I was starting to get worried the IRS would be coming after me if I didn't get things in order rofl, but he calmed all my fears and alleviated my stress. =)

... You mean you didn't speak with him before starting?

Nah, didn't really think about it at first. I actually hadn't ever met with or even talked to the guy before my phone call with him today.

Essentially, I live with my mother so for the last four years she's been claiming me as a dependent and I've given her my W-2 so she could file our taxes through him together. As a result, he's been filing my taxes for free these last four years.

Now though, I can't really be her dependent anymore, so I gotta step out of the nest and learn how this shit works rofl. So far so good though, making money and making sure its all above board so far.

It just feels weird that you started this without consulting first.

It probably is weird. Like I said, I'm very new to all this. It was probably a stumble that I didn't even think about talking to my tax guy until Patreon had me fill out a W-9 form.

Still, I haven't managed to do anything terribly wrong or screw anything up too badly. Worst case scenario, as I grow this thing I'll probably want to pay taxes quarterly instead of yearly to keep everything nice and in order.

Talking to the Tax Man about your career writing porn. That must've been an awkward meeting.
