DR FJL - Is this for real?!?!?NY Freelancers and Studios: A Tax Alert - MTA Tax Due November 2
Not even sure why it's weird.
My accountant says go to your 2008 1040, take the line 12 amount and multiply it by .0034; I owe $150.45 as my bit to help out the goddam asses at the MTA.
TOD: The new solo albums from Liz Callaway, Rebecca Luker, and Kate Baldwin.For many years, I have had a strong desire to record William Finn's "Anytime (I Am There)" and have that played at my own memorial service. Well, now that song has been supplanted by Steve Marzullo's "Remember." It's on Rebecca Luker's new album. And it's an exquisite little gem!
Part of it is that the lyricist for the long musical is trying to set a schedule for the cast to learn their numbers, and if I'm reading what she's suggesting correctly she's just scheduled the group numbers for twelve hours of rehearsals. For a table reading. I think not. Actors are donating their time and we asked them at their audition if they would throw in a couple of hours to learn their songs - not twelve hours. So, I've had to send several e-mails reminding them that this is not to be done this way, that this is not the staged reading (and they won't have twelve hours for THAT, music-wise, as one only has twenty-nine hours TOTAL, INCLUDING the performance), blah, blah, blah.

And it's an exquisite little gem!DR DAW, I have long felt William Finn's Anytime to be a hauntingly beautiful and unforgettable song. The first time I heard it was a live performance of Elegies, and by the time Carolee Carmello finished singing it, I was a stupid mess of tears streaming down my face. I will have to listen to Remember. I haven't heard that one yet.

The tax is based on what you made this year, 2009, after March 1, and only if your "net earnings" (from self-employment) are more than $10,000."When does this tax start?The tax is effective March 1, 2009. For 2009 only, the tax is based on ten-twelfths of net earnings for the whole year (this eliminates the need to identify income earned before and after the March 1 date.)""When is my first payment due?The first payment required for 2009 is due Monday, November 2, 2009. This required payment is equal to 75% of the total 2009 estimated tax. The following payment is due Monday, February 1, 2010."
Thick as a Brick

I doubt there will be much difference between my 2008 and 2009 incomes.
