Summary

Welcome back! It’s January, which means tax season is officially upon us—so today I’m sitting down with CPA Charles Harris to kick things off. We’re covering the basics—who needs to file, what to know about quarterly payments, and a few key deadlines—so you can feel clear on your next step. And quick note: registration is open for our free Self-Employment Tax Crash Course webinar coming up on February 5. You can find all the details for that at musicstudiostartup.com/tax.
