I just got my 50-year pin but I know naught about what you ask, except: I have used a very good firm of CPAs to do my tax returns each year and advice on these subjects is part of what they do. I have never done my own tax returns nor do I know how. I do believe that I am the sole officer of a Subchapter S Professional Corporation (Robert D. Baron Lawyer A Professional Corporation) and you may call me Mr. President if you like. You should engage someone in California to help you. I am lucky that I am helped here by the excellent firm until recently co-headed by OKCLUG co-president Ken Carney, now retired, and it gives me great comfort to know that in some small part my fees help him buy more camera gear. --Bob On Fri, Sep 21, 2018 at 2:40 PM Brian Reid <reid at mejac.palo-alto.ca.us> wrote: > I've been taking pictures for money (mostly weddings and portraits) for > 40 years.
