As a growing photographer, traveling to work with clients out of state can be an exciting milestone—but it can also open up a confusing can of worms when it comes to taxes.
If you’ve ever wondered:
– Do I need to file taxes in other states?
– What if I only did one shoot somewhere else?
– What about sales tax for products I deliver to out-of-state clients?
…you’re definitely not alone.
