Money Talks: Gig Economy
Do you have a part time gig? Do you have many part time gigs as your only source of income?
We have some helpful tips for those who are looking to increase their income and some cautions for those who aren't considered "employees".
Remember: if you aren't an employee, you probably aren't having Social Security, State and Federal Taxes with held from your payment. You are responsible for paying those amounts in each quarter.
