If you’re juggling your photography business on the weekends while working a 9–5 during the week, first of all—go you! That’s no small feat. But while the creative hustle is rewarding, tax season can feel like a total mystery.
In this week’s YouTube video, I’m breaking down everything you need to know about filing taxes with a day job and photography income—so you don’t get hit with a surprise bill or miss out on deductions that could save you serious cash.
Here’s what we’re covering: 📌 Why your W-2 job doesn’t cover your side hustle taxes
📌 What self-employment tax is (and how it affects your refund)
📌 The most common (and missed) write-offs for photographers
📌 How to avoid a tax-time panic by setting aside the right amount now
Whether you’ve made $500 or $15,000 from your photography side hustle this year, this video will help you understand the ins and outs of filing taxes with a day job—in a way that actually makes sense.
Plus, if you need a simple way to track your income, expenses, and deductions? I’ve got a Tax Prep Spreadsheet I swear by—and I’ll link it in the video description for you.
