Before I start I'll just mention I know the rules (another post on tax was picked up) I'm not looking for financial/taxation advice I just want to know what you do and I know I can't apply your situation to my situation but I might be able to figure out what I am supposed to do.

This year is the first time I have made money with photography and I will need to put in a tax form for it. I have another job which is my main income so photography is kind of the 'pocket money' job. I have an ABN so I can claim my deductions and what not but I'm not earning enough to charge GST yet so that won't be a problem.

What I want to know is if you have a full time job and have photography as a side job how do you do your tax? do you do them both together as one tax return or do you do one for your regular job and another for the side job? or do you just take everything to a tax agent and have them deal with it all?

Thanks
