This week I had a talented woman help me present a business start up workshop in the office. She spent a lot of time talking to those attending about how and what to keep for tax records and why, because, well, it\u2019s what she does.<\/p>\n
But one of the most important comments she made during her hour of fame really didn\u2019t pertain to business taxes, but to self employment taxes and contributions to Social Security. A lot of self employed people put this at the bottom of their list in terms of importance, and even try to \u201cfudge\u201d<\/em> income information so they don\u2019t have to pay as much into the fund.<\/p>\n What this brilliant lady said was, \u201cPaying into self employment tax is the cheapest and best disability insurance a self employed person can get.\u201d<\/strong> Well, I thought about it and I have to say I agree with that statement. You only have to look at someone you know on disability at a young age and realize that Social Security Disability is what keeps many disabled workers and their families afloat. Serious permanently disabling injuries can and DO<\/strong> happen to young workers all the time.<\/p>\n So, all you fledgling entrepreneurs; remember to pay in that quarterly estimate on your self employment. You never know when you will have to rely on that income to survive!<\/p>\n Thanks Maesz<\/strong>, for the great quote and for all of your help at our workshop!
