I'm paying, but after savagely whittling the gross down with 
a shoebox full of receipts (littlest appears to be fifty cents 
to replace a lost cymbal stand wingnut, alongside a stack of 
similarly priced toll slips from the Mass Pike), it's all Self 
Employment Tax. 
Can't buy OR drink drinks tonight - gotta work!

Paid.  Paid big time.  Much deep hurting.  Was in denial 'til I finally
mailed the check yesterday.  (Who knew that a sleepy little town like
Andover could contain such evil?  Well, evil other than Phillips
Andover...)

Somone buy me a ginger ale, eh?

Ditto. Thank god for Quicken, because after moving, my receipts 
are all over the damn place. The big fun is figuring out under which 
equipment category to put "Telecaster."

It's horrible when you are self-employed and you have to write them
checks every quarter OUT OF YOUR OWN BANK ACCOUNT. However, our CPA says
there are worse problems than having to pay taxes- it just means you
made some money this year. I'll buy.

UGH! I'm just starting to do that for the first time, 'cause I started
freelancing heavily beginning in January, 1999. The bright side is, it means
I will feel justified hiring some schmuck to do my taxes next year. g

BTW, I paid $126 to the feds today, and $171 to the state. Can't buy ya
drinks this time.
