Better Economic Stimulus Options For Self-Employed Individuals

I am a wedding photographer who has lost at least 20% of my annual income due to wedding cancellations and postponements due to the pandemic. The self employed who have lost income due to the government recommendations and restrictions need the government to also provide us relief.

As a new real estate agent, I'm truly feeling the punch of lost business as potential buyers are putting off buying due to concerns about entering homes or their 401K's took a hit.

My boss was just forced to shut down our massage shop. I have no way to make money due to corona.

I'm self employed and need to be included in the stimulus plan.

Self employed need a stimulus package. We are tax payers and support the state and counties

My wife is a business owner and deserves a stimulus too.

Self-employed people don’t have the safety nets other workers have. Don’t forget us. You need us!

Thank you

I believe self employed business should get help they live day by day

Please help us! We are a hard working third of the working population and we are scared!

Help us Hairstylist! We we were sanitizing and protecting our clients 100 % more than the stores are.

Yes! Small business sometimes means 1 person. When things like this happen we are completely alone. Help is desperately needed!

The self employed account for 1/3 of the economy, please do what’s fair.

Please consider making sure we are covered. Self employed people make up a good size work force.

I work for a local food delivery service in Sherman, Tx similar to Doordash. I have COPD so I am currently unable to work I have a pregnant daughter at home and a son to care for as well. I have a car note to pay as well as a house payment and other bills ontop of that. I can't afford the health care that I need and I'm petrified that I am going to lose everything I've worked so hard for. In addition I've gone to h&r block recently in attempts to obtain all work history info for previous years that I've not been able to afford to even have my taxes done and they couldn't find me in the IRS system as far back as 2012. Which is strange because I owe for old collage loans and they had taken my tax returns the last time I filed.

Thank you for doing this!!

Always amazing that the federal government touts the economic impact of small business yet forgets the same small business owners in times of economic downturns.

I am a small business who services homes. There is no desire to have someone service there home and this is understandable but the reality is we are dead ducks at the moment. The government says they will help small business and we are the backbone of society, so time to put those words into some relief for those entrepreneurs.

I am already in the low income zone and my job (horseback riding instructor) is very seasonal, with Spring and Fall being my highest income time periods. Imagine 1/3 of your income suddenly gone!
