    Consulting with an accountant will always be your best option for sound advice. I'm lucky enough that my aunt works for a CPA so they do my taxes and I just do what they tell me. Plus they they give me the family discount so I only have to pay them with food.:)

    Yesterday I was reading an article about this island that accrues all of our trash from the ocean. Some scientists went there to study it and crabs were using makeup containers as their shell or whatever the hell, and one of the scientists said she didn't believe in using plastic anymore because of it, so she purchased a bamboo case for her iPhone. :emoji_thinking:

    (I wish I could say that was the dumbest thing I heard yesterday, but later at the bar I heard someone arguing pro-flat earth.)

    you are required to pay estimated taxes when you're self employed

    "If you didn't pay enough tax throughout the year, either through withholding or by making estimated tax payments, you may have to pay a penalty for underpayment of estimated tax. Generally, most taxpayers will avoid this penalty if they either owe less than $1,000 in tax after subtracting their withholding and estimated tax payments, or if they paid at least 90% of the tax for the current year or 100% of the tax shown on the return for the prior year, whichever is smaller"

    Not everyone. I don't. I get a refund at the end of the year, so I don't have to send them a dime. Because kids = tax breaks.

    Other people's "real job" may cover what they owe.

    Those who will owe less than a certain amount don't have to either.

    There are a ton of exceptions.

    Does that matter if you're employed full time as well? I was going to let my usual tax return (~$6k) take care of my mturk taxes for this year. Should I be sending something quarterly?

    edit: Just read @Jesicu's post above. Ty, girl!

    I feel like what bothers me the most about that is that it was debunked literally over two thousand years ago. Like, the first reference is from 600 BC. -.-

    Considering that computers control everything from nuclear weapons to the power grid to traffic I kinda imagine you do need a computer unless you don't mind getting hit by a car.

    If you are making a lot turking you might need to get them to take a little more out of your taxes at your full time job but then again if you normally get back a lot it probably won't matter much.
