Easy-to-understand guide to taxes for artists, freelancers, and all self-employed individuals
Equal parts empathetic and practical, Taxes for Humans is a handbook for tackling the tax-season-scaries, written specifically for people who are self-employed. Provides essential tax education for those pushed to the back of the financial line in America, including women, queer people, and BIPOC folks, this book provides the practical tools people need to understand their taxes, conquer their fear of finances, bulk up on tax benefits, and end the tax season stronger, smarter, and more tax-savvy than ever-without sacrificing their sanity.
With accessibility in mind, this book is structured into an easy–to-follow framework:
• The Mindset: Address limiting beliefs and make the case for tax empowerment
• The Education: Start from the ground-level, without shame or jargon, and lay a foundation of tax knowledge
• The Organization: Build the systems that will get you organized and keep you organized
• The Level-up: Take up space by using next-level skills like planning and tax-smart accounts to grow your wealth (and power)
• The Fix: Mend a broken tax situation (audits, disappearing spouses, back-taxes, and escaping the tax-debt spiral)
• The Bigger Picture: Connect your personal wellbeing with the wellbeing of the communities you love
Taxes for Humans is an essential read for all freelancers, creatives, and self-employed people seeking to understand, take control of, and reduce stress surrounding their tax.
