  1. Basics of Taxation: (Standardized Deductions, Claiming exemptions, Employee Income, Non-Employee Income);
  2. What to Know about the new Tax Act starting in 2018;
  3. To itemize or not to itemize (what you can deduct as an artist);
  4. How to keep track of expenses throughout the year and stay organized for your tax returns;
  5. Making quarterly payments;
  6. Going through what needs to be done for your 1099 Misc/Schedule C income and expenses.
 
In this workshop, 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.)
