This episode breaks down how self-employed baddies; dancers, creators, models, and beauty professionals earning 1099 income can use tax write-offs, business deductions, mileage tracking, bookkeeping systems, and proper income documentation to lower their tax burden and stay compliant with IRS rules. Katherine and Ella reveal exactly how to track cash tips, digital payments, business expenses, and self-employment income so you can stay audit-proof, maximize deductions, and run your work like a real business.

When Katherine sits down with her fave nail tech, Ella, the conversation quickly shifts from salon stories to the financial reality of self-employment and how much overlap there is between industries that look nothing alike.

Habits that dancers, OnlyFans creators, freelancers, and beauty pros all need to master. They dig into how your IRS online account works, why separating business and personal expenses matters, and how even small-day decisions (like gas, supplies, or phone use for scheduling clients) can qualify as legitimate deductions when documented properly.
