What is the name of your state? Minnesota
Okay, so I've started my own business (and it's taking off very well!) but I've got a stupid, stupid question.
Right now, between paying for liability insurance, and commercial auto insurance, etc. etc. I'm a little bit on the broke side, and no one has given me a straight-forward answer.
I'm obviously working for my self as a "contractor" with no corporation set up (yet) so I am curious about how much of my pay should I put off to the side for taxes?
I'm currently saving 35% of everything I bring in, under the assumption that it will go to taxes, I am curious if this seems like a reasonable amount, or if it's too much, or not enough. I will be paying a tax accountant at the end of the quarter (As I've heard contractors need to file taxes quarterly) but I haven't any "Extra" money to pay one right now for this simple answer.
(wow, what a long-winded easy question!)
Thanks in advance!
