People who got hit with a surprise tax bill as a freelancer — what happened?
I'm doing research into how freelancers handle taxes and I keep seeing the same story: someone does everything right, earns good money, and then gets blindsided by a huge tax bill they weren't expecting.
I want to understand what actually happened in those moments.
If this has happened to you, can you tell me:
- What were you doing for work? (Uber, DoorDash, consulting, anything)
- When did you realize something had gone wrong?
- What did you wish someone had told you earlier?
Not selling anything. Not promoting anything. Just genuinely trying to understand this problem so I can build something that prevents it.
