National Small Business Day is a wonderful opportunity to show your support for local entrepreneurs and businesses. Here are 10 ways you can celebrate and support small businesses this month: Shop Local: Make a conscious effort to patronize small businesses in your community. Whether it's buying groceries from a local market, getting coffee from a neighborhood café, or shopping at a boutique, your purchases directly contribute to the success of these businesses. Spread the Word: Use your social media platforms to highlight your favorite small businesses. Share photos of your purchases, leave positive reviews on review sites, and encourage your friends and followers to support these establishments as well. Attend Local Events: Many communities organize events or markets to celebrate National Small Business Day. Attend these events to discover new businesses, meet local entrepreneurs, and show your support for the small business community. Gift Certificates: Purchase gift certificates from small businesses to use later or give as gifts to friends and family. Collaborate with Small Businesses: If you're a blogger, influencer, or content creator, consider collaborating with small businesses for sponsored posts, reviews, or giveaways. Offer Your Skills: If you have professional skills such as graphic design, marketing, or accounting, consider offering your services pro bono or at a discounted rate to small businesses in need. Attend Workshops or Classes: Many small businesses offer workshops or classes on various topics such as cooking, crafting, or fitness. Attend these sessions to learn something new while supporting local entrepreneurs. Join a Loyalty Program: Join these programs to enjoy discounts, special offers, and exclusive perks while supporting your favorite local establishments. Write Thank You Notes: Take the time to write personalized thank you notes to small business owners and employees expressing your appreciation for their hard work and dedication. Volunteer or Donate: Offer your time or resources to support small business organizations or initiatives in your community. By implementing these ideas, you can celebrate National Small Business Day in a meaningful way and contribute to the success and sustainability of small businesses in your community.

    If it earns income, it usually needs to be reporte If it earns income, it usually needs to be reported. If your side hustle brings in income, even smaller amounts, you are usually required to report it at tax time. Freelance work, part time services, extra projects, and one time gigs all count as taxable income, no matter how casual the work may feel. Make sure you track what you earn and keep your receipts and records in one place. Clear tracking helps you stay compliant, understand your true profit, and avoid any surprises when tax season arrives. If you are unsure what needs to be reported or want support getting everything organized, working with a tax pro can make the process much easier.
