You generally only need to pay estimated taxes if you're earning enough
from your calling that this is a major part of your overall income. So I
don't pay estimated taxes, and just file my Schedule C (sole
proprietorship) with my contra dance income and expenses along with the
rest of our taxes.

Slipped fingers. The
IRS.gov website allows you to
make estimated tax
payments on line. You can also download the forms and instructions if you
want. If you don't make a "profit" in your first three years, the IRS
calls
it a hobby. You still have to pay taxes, but you can't deduct expenses
Find a tax shop or a book on small businesses. JKLasser has some good
thouough books.

OK, we all know we're really in this for the outrageous sums of money,
right? ;-)
But if you're lucky, you're finally at the stage where you're at least
covering your costs and have enough gigs where you're concerned the IRS may
expect you to be reporting your income, recording expenses, etc.
I've looked into this somewhat and from what I can tell in the US, it
involves making quarterly Social Security tax contributions on the income
and including the income/expenses toward your estimated tax payments at the
Fed/State/Local level. The trick is *how*.
Does anyone have a pointer to a good tutorial or other tips/direct advice
on the topic?
(Apologies for the intrusion of the *Real World* into our magic place...)
