Kiplinger’s TaxCut, and TurboTax are the two more popular, reliable, tax software packages out there.
She should be setting aside roughly 30 to 50% of what she earns, to cover taxes. (variables would be if you are in a taxing state and city, and what your total household income is – which federal income tax bracket you are in)
15% of her profit goes to self-employment taxes. Then there’s federal income tax, and then state and city if they apply.
