Another thing I need:
Can anyone recommend a good tax person in Orange County who is familiar with independent contractors/actors?

Yes! Email patrickjohnbrennan@yahoo.com, he was great for me last year.
Lindsay B. replied:
Kimberly K. Mitchell! Yes please! And thanks David Miller! I'll email that guy too. Hopefully one of them will be available (I'm cutting it close, I know).

John Gonzalez at Gonzalez CPA. It's right across the street from John Wayne Airport. Heidi recommended him, and Sean and I have been going for 3 years.

I have a great guy in Orange I've known for years - Clyde Sopp. He is off Katella and the 55. Drew Boudreau can vouch for him, too. He has worked with independent contractors and actors and small business owners for years. I started having to use a CPA last year to deal with business expenses/my grandmother's estate. If you can maneuver through TurboTax and file yourself, that's always the cheapest route! But it also helps to have a CPA on there if you're counting a lot of deductions, and he can help you through all those really well. He is super patient and reasonable. And funny.

Do any of my California peeps know of a general contractor that they trust? I'm talking a major remodel of adding a 2nd story. Someone you would hire and trust with...
Maria B. replied:
We had great luck with the company who just did our kitchen and bathroom remodel, but I don't know if they do second stories or not. They seemed to know people for every type of job though. It was HR Kitchen & Bath & More, 951-314-8014 or 562-201-6587. Gustavo was the contractor and Marco was his business partner.
