Today, I'm starting a 3 part series where I'm sharing an article published by ProPublica that exposes some of the unethical practices by Intuit, the maker of TurboTax. The article details how Intuit has waged a 20-year fight against free tax filing through lobbying efforts, internal tactics, and deceptive marketing. Join me in this 3 part series to learn more about how TurboTax has helped prevent the government from creating a free and easy tax filing system.

Why I Hate TurboTax Part 1

Making money isn't usually the top priority for big vision creators — making a difference is.

But without financial power, the diverse and unique solutions that you bring to the world as a creative entrepreneur aren't able to see the light of day. And you are left burned out and exhausted.

This show is designed for the big vision creators —designers, freelancers, and purple-haired, punk rock weirdos — to answer the question: "If you had your taxes, retirement, and investing on lock, how big of an impact could you make on the world with your work?"

Your host, Hannah Cole, is both an artist and a tax expert, and the founder of Sunlight Tax. In each episode, she and her guests will explore the connection between financial power and creative success, uncovering the unique money mindset and financial management shifts that help creators like you have a bigger impact with your work. From what you need to know about self-employment taxes and bookkeeping, to unlocking your vision, you'll have everything you need to become more successful — and have a bigger impact — in your career. 

Hannah has supported thousands of self-employed people like you with accessible tax and business setup skills through her signature program, Money Bootcamp. You can learn more at sunlighttax.com and connect on Instagram at @sunlighttax.
