Side Hustle Money Needs Its Own Account, LLC or Not

FindLaw's guide says that once you set up an LLC, you should open a bank account in its name. Business income and business expenses should run only through that account. Merch, show money and brand checks mixed with rent money is how owners lose that legal separation and make tax time harder.

The MoveOpen a dedicated business bank account and run only business income and expenses through it, including merch sales, show fees and brand payments.

Royalties and Side Income Can Trigger Quarterly IRS Payments

The IRS explains that federal income tax is pay-as-you-go. If no employer withholds tax, you generally have to send estimated payments through the year. Self-employed people usually do, and so can people earning royalties, rents or prizes. Sole proprietors generally owe estimates if they expect to owe $1,000 or more when they file.

The MoveEstimate your yearly tax with the Form 1040-ES worksheet and schedule a payment through your IRS online account before the next quarterly due date.

Druski Takes Equity in Gopuff Instead of a Standard Endorsement

Black Enterprise reports Gopuff announced on Oct. 9 that comedian Druski will take an ownership stake as part of a multiyear partnership. They will build exclusive products together. The size of the stake and the other financial terms were not disclosed. Equity is ownership, which is different from a one-time fee for promoting a brand.

The MoveAsk in every brand deal whether equity or ownership is possible alongside or instead of a flat fee, and have a lawyer review the terms.

Your Label Advance Is a Loan Against Your Future Royalties

Orphiq explains that a label advance is not a gift. It is paid back out of your royalty share before any royalty checks arrive. In its example, a $50,000 advance at a 20% royalty rate needs $250,000 in revenue to recoup. Recoupable recording and marketing costs can push that number higher.

The MoveCompare the total recoupable balance and your royalty rate, not just the advance amount, and have an entertainment attorney read the contract before you sign.
