How Giving Makes You Rich

By Norbert Higensen


All of us have heard and the majority of us just can't believe it. How can you get rich by giving and what is this founded on? Is this all based on the idea that "what comes around goes around" or are we just being bamboozled? Is this about taxes and should we check with our tax lawyer here in Las Vegas?

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.

But the easy and potentially substantial income that is attached with freelance work still needs to be accounted for in the form of taxes; and, unlike those who are working for a structured company or organization, those who perform freelance work have the added responsibility of keeping track of their own taxes.

Deductions are run on a percentage basis that varies depending on the amount of income you make. Meaning that if you claim $4000 on a deduction and fall in the 25% bracket, you get a deduction of $1000. Credits, on the other hand, are good for 100% of their value. If your credit is $1000, you get the full $1000 taken off the total taxes you owe.

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 first tip that freelancers who are trying to report and keep track of their taxes need to know is that there are different forms of 1099s that are used to report various types of income from freelance work and knowing which form to fill out and report with will be the first step in successfully completing your tax filings.

One of the benefits is the fact that you receive tax deductions but that is far less important when compared to the change in mindset that you receive.

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.
