This week on the Sunlight Tax Podcast, I’m sharing practical tips to help you navigate the April 15 tax deadline with more clarity and less stress. I talk about why filing your taxes early can make a big difference, how estimated quarterly tax payments help self-employed people stay ahead, and how funding your IRA can lower your tax bill while building long-term financial security.

I also dive into the bigger picture of tax planning for entrepreneurs and freelancers, including why understanding your tax obligations is one of the most empowering things you can do for your business. Plus, I share details about some upcoming workshops designed to help creatives, entrepreneurs, and self-employed individuals build simple, sustainable systems for managing money and taxes.
