When it comes to taxes, artists have unique needs and benefits. As both a tax preparer and a working actor, Emily Churchill, EA, specializes in the concerns that are unique to creative workers. This 3-hour interactive workshop will cover:
- Basics of Taxation: (Standardized Deductions, Claiming exemptions, Employee Income, Non-Employee Income);
- To itemize or not to itemize? (what you can deduct as an artist);
- How to keep track of expenses throughout the year and stay organized for your tax returns;
- Making quarterly payments;
- Going through what needs to be done for your 1099 Misc/Schedule C income and expenses.
Artists and creatives of all backgrounds will learn best practices and important take-aways about the current tax code in a friendly and confidential setting. (Please note: this workshop is for educational purposes only. Each person's tax needs are specific to their own returns, and one should always seek the advice of their own professional tax preparer.)
