When someone asks you what your favorite season is, “tax season” certainly isn’t going to be on the list. Whether we like it or not, this comes around once (or up to four times) a year. Rather than wincing and dreading the time it takes filing your taxes, you should take a few moments to prepare yourself to make it as painless as possible. To help you out, here are some of our favorite resources that can help you ease tax season pain year-after-year.

Freelancer and gig worker basic tax information

These links will help you gain a basic understanding of what is expected from you when you’re filing your taxes. If you’re a gig worker, freelancer or independent worker, your tax time may look different than someone who is an employee of a company.

What you need to prepare

Organization is key. For many independent workers, it’s easier to keep track of your income and paperwork as the year goes, rather than scrambling for everything before you hit your tax deadline. Whether you’re looking to set up good habits, or you need to get your affairs in order to file your taxes quickly, here are some guides to finding and gathering the information you need.

Simple ways to make things easier for yourself

It’s tempting to just file your taxes and stop thinking about it until next year, but this isn’t the right move! Instead, set yourself up for success by using the right tools throughout the year to ease your tax season stress.
