How Giving Makes You Rich

By Norbert Higensen


With the world moving towards a more and more hands off approach to work, meaning that more work is being outsourced and completed thanks to the global network known as the internet, there are likewise an increasing number of individuals who are working as freelancers.

Freelancer jobs in America have grown exponentially in the past decade as more and more individuals are opting to perform their work or offer their services to different companies from the comfort of their own home or office.

Deduction vs. Credit - First, it is important to understand that there are 2 primary ways to reduce the amount of taxes you pay. Deductions and credits both take money off the amount of taxable income but they are slightly different in how they affect how much money you save.

In a company or organization, it is most often the case that the employer will withhold a certain percentage from each paycheck so that a person can fill out a W2 tax form during the tax season and pay their taxes from those withheld funds, but for freelancer this is not the case.

When you are able to let go of your money and realize that it is a tool that you have and not something that the world revolves around, then you have an empowered mindset that allows you to create sustainability in every aspect of your life.

The concept is pretty simple. You get what you give in life. For instance, if you give love then you get love back. If you give time to somebody then you get time back. The same goes for money as well. So for those who are being stingy and trying to save up they may be hitting a plateau. If they would just let go of the thing that is starting to control their lives then they might actually gain control over things.

Tuition - There are several deductions and credits related to higher education. If you're a student, you want to make sure that you do not miss out on those. The amount that you are able to deduct depends on your income, so check with an accountant or tax professional to see what you qualify for.

One of the main benefits of being an independent contractor, or freelance worker, is that you can deduct many things from your taxes as business related expenses. One of the major deductions that freelance workers can deduct from their taxes is their own health insurance costs as well as the health insurance costs of your spouse and your dependents.

The world of taxes can be a disastrously complicated place, especially once legal actions are taken by the IRS. To help you with all of your freelance tax questions and issues, first contact a professional tax accountant to help file your taxes correctly and then contact a certified tax lawyer if legal issues arise in your tax reporting as a freelancer.
