    I couldn't agree more. It took me years to figure all that out, or at least to start doing it. I'd second all the skepticism about the NASE. For me, keeping self employment simple comes down to saving receipts, putting 30% of each paycheck in a tax account (which often leaves leftovers for the IRA), and entering the receipts into Quickbooks (indifferent customer support, but I'm stuck) before filing. I find that easier than doing it all at once at the end of the year.
