Have you ever filed your taxes as a voice actor before?
Filing your taxes as a voice actor for the first time can be more than a bit intimidating. If you're organized & prepared you have the potential to lower your tax burden. Wouldn't that be nice?
If you don't have a CPA, find one! Ask for suggestions from your fellow voice actors & self-employed colleagues and vet them via the National Association of Enrolled Agents (NAEA): https://www.naea.org
Ask yourself: should you incorporate? Will it save you money? Talk to your CPA, a financial advisor, or an attorney you trust to help you figure that out.
