Description

Struggling with self-employment taxes and deductible expenses for artists? Join us for this hands-on workshop to navigate tax subtleties for artists. We’ll cover generally expenses generally deductible on Schedule C, the tax form self-employed artists use to report their business income and deductions, and the methodology for estimating and paying quarterly income taxes. But this workshop isn’t just talking: Come prepared to translate the expenses you incur as a professional artist into tax deductions through an exercise inspired by Richard Hatch (of Survivor fame).
