I'm just an affiliate too, operating as a sole proprietor. In my eyes, my accountant is cheap. I do my own books all year long, with her answering questions when I have them. Then at the end of the year, I hand her a spreadsheet, and she takes it from there. I think she charges me $250 annually for this. I can write her fees off, and she will be the one to deal with the IRS, should I ever get audited.

Underpaying is not good. There are some free tools online to help you figure it out. Also, you can look for IRS Form 1040-ES to use as a guideline.

Or hit me up on icq sometime. Also, I pay my quarterlies online, so it is pretty painless. Except for the handing-over-the-cash part, of course.
Wasn't taking it that way at all. Thanks.

I used to have an accountant back in the late nineties when I was screenwriting, and then I took a 9-5 (after a fashsion) and lost track of her. She was good for the entertainment business.

I thought this was going to be temporary but it's been three years now I 've been doing this exclusively. Mostly doing my own taxes online and probably ripping myself off so I'll have to start looking into things. I think I have been getting charged penalties and probably not even realizing it LOL.

Thanks again
