    Gillian, could you make a video on tax preparation/expectations for small businesses? As well as ways in which small businesses can earn their keep rather than lose it all to the IRS? Many youtubers don't talk about this aspect, and I'm curious about what to expect once my business picks up. (Plus, I just watched a video on the new IRS $600 rule that is to affect the 2023 tax year.) Thanks!

    Hi Gillian, I run a marketing agency, and my packages really differ. Do you recommend my income categories to be by name of the client (since I do a mix of services for all so far) or by actual service/package?
    Thanks!

    • @gillianzperkins
      @gillianzperkins  Месяц назад

      Great question! I'd organize your categories just by the different types of services you offer. Or, if most of your packages are a blend of different marketing services, then you could just have one product category that's "marketing services" or "marketing consulting." Hope that helps!
