Taxes for Artists and Creatives:

Play the Game, Minimize the Stress

It has come time for everyone’s favorite part of the year: tax season. Do you find the process stressful and unnecessarily confusing? We promise it’s not just you. Want someone who actually understands what it’s like to be in the arts to walk you through the basics in a clear – even visually compelling – way?

Created for artists, creatives, and small business owners, this workshop will cover the fundamentals. You’ll walk away with a concrete understanding of the things you can and should be responsible for (they’re not as complicated as you think), as well as the confidence to know when you’ve done enough and can give yourself permission to relax. We’ll tackle common questions for artists and creatives, such as:  

  • When does it make sense to get help, and why? 
  • What exactly is taxable income? 
  • How can I make sure the IRS views my artistic practice as a business, not a hobby? 

Developed in partnership with Brass Taxes, join us for your tax season made easy. While you play this perplexing game once a year, they play it 100s of times a year, and are here to help.
