Side income is easy to lose track of because it comes from many places in small amounts.
Log every payment
Date, source, amount and how it was paid. Keep related expenses, which may reduce the tax.
Set aside a share
Many people set aside a percentage of each payment for income and self-employment tax. Your tax preparer can suggest the right share.
Our side income tracker totals by source and shows the set-aside.
