Just did my taxes for the first time as a fully independent contractor, and you don't know how nervewracking it is to fill out everything going "Boy, I hope I did this right and the IRS won't come after me with their death squads."
Good news is very very little of my freelance income was in 2024. Next year, though, that's gonna hurt.
