Freelance photographer receipt FAQ
Do I charge sales tax on photographer work?
Most US states tax parts/materials but exempt labor. Use Glo Invoice's per-line tax toggle so each photographer line item is taxed correctly. Check your state — a few (HI, NM, SD, WV) tax services too.
Retainer refundable?
Non-refundable. Print on invoice + contract.
RAW files?
Generally no — finished JPGs only. Print on invoice.
