Frequently Asked Questions

What is my business or freelance income? How do I calculate it?
Your business or freelance income, at a minimum, is the total of your bank account deposits and app (Venmo, PayPal, etc.) deposits for the tax return’s year.
Income is all of these deposits EXCEPT:
1. Financial support/ gifts from family and friends
2. Personal reimbursements, i.e. IOU repayment, Venmo for the dinner bill’s share
3. Personal refunds, i.e. for return of clothes you bought on Amazon
4. W-2 salaried income (because this goes elsewhere on your tax return)
5. Transfers between your bank or app accounts
6. Prior year tax refunds (because this goes elsewhere on your tax return)
What is the difference between income and a gift?
A gift is unilateral, or one-way, “consideration.” If someone gives you money and gets nothing in return from you (aside for the good feeling that comes from giving), then they have made you a gift. For income tax purposes, gifts are not taxable. However, if they are more than $15,000, then the grantor -the person making the gift- may have to pay an excise tax on a separate, gift tax return he/ she files.
What are all of the tax deductions I can write off?
First, please see “What are business or freelance expenses?” to gain a true understanding of what you’re asking for. Now, your tax deductions are finite: not limitless. They are either on your bank account or app (Venmo, PayPal, etc.) statements, or on cash receipts you have saved. If you don’t have any document to prove it, then it is not a tax deduction! Second, to determine your tax deductions, comb through your bank account and app statements for the tax return’s year. Go through every month’s statement and every month’s transaction, one by one. Do not expect to be done in 20 minutes: this task will take you a few hours to a few days, so pace yourself and plan your time accordingly. Going forward, you want to do this every couple of months throughout the year. Next, please see “How do I gather and present my business or freelance expenses?” Once you are done with these 3 interrelated tips, take just a moment to read “Best practices for business or freelance expenses.”
