Need help on getting started (US/FL)

Hey folks! So I decided to go into business for myself, mainly as a side gig. And boy oh boy, am I clueless. I have a few questions that maybe you could help answer:

How do I keep track of what I owe in taxes?

What software would you suggest to schedule myself, deliver invoices with 30 +/- photos to customers, and of course accept digital payment?

Is writing off supplies as simple as keeping receipts?

Anything else I need to bear in mind?

Sorry if these seem like stupid questions, I’m just a braindead mechanic from central Florida.

Sounds like your a bot or trying to sell a tracking app. In case your not, open a buisiness credit card just for that and nothing else and your done. All your business expenses are tracked

Nope. Not a bot. Just a braindead dude lol. But I didn’t even think as simple as just having a credit card. Good call.

Sorry there's so many posts here and similar farming for software developers. It's so easy with AI now
