Your right! I should find someone. I guess I get a little scared. I'm a very private person, So handing over my financial records and explaining how my business works is a bit scary.

Just going to someone even once will help you set up systems to make your record-keeping easier in the future. Think of your tax preparer as part of your business team. And as a business, you may be surprised how much can be deductible, especially for an artist and writer, if you have kept good records. Your taxes may be lower than you think. It also helps to understand the difference between your self-employment taxes and your income taxes, and mentally keep them separated in any frustration. Good luck - and once you get your system set up, I hope you'll feel a lot better!
