    When you get a monthly check from either Yahoo or AdSense save at least 30% of every dollar.........

    I was pretty shocked to see how bad the taxes are..... on lesss then 9k (9 thousand) dollars earned the taxes due are roughly $1,900.... just for federal, and then state taxes were $298 and local another $98.

    The tax woman said that we are taxed roughly 34% of every dollar earned as extra income, at least here in pennsylvania.

    Yeah, mine were terrible too. That's what happens when you're "self employed" :p
    Next year see if you can get a write-off for your internet bill.

    Are any of you also deducting any courses you've taken to improve your business? I've also found that taxes are relatively high for the self-employed. I've been considering incorporating. Has anyone done that yet?

    You can pay also in advance each quarter an $ amount. That takes the load a bit off the end of the year.
