Find Every Deduction and Set Your Business up for Success with TurboTax Self-Employed
The gig economy is one of the fastest growing segments as more and more people are turning their side hustle into a business. I should know because I did exactly that. Years ago when the economy was struggling, the company I worked for just cut my position in the company. At the time, I had my side hustle and I was devoting some time to it. I was doing pretty well. However that layoff? It jumpstarted what has been the absolute best decision of my life. I hope that you enjoy this Find Every Deduction and Set Your Business Up for Success with TurboTax Self-Employed post.
