Session 2: Thursday, February 13 from 1:00pm to 3:00pm
Workshops are identical.
You may only sign up for one session. The information presented in each will be identical. Both sessions will be held in our office (1315 Walnut Street, Suite 832 in Center City East). Venue is wheelchair accessible. Registration is required to attend this workshop.
WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
Whether you’re getting grants, selling or performing art, self employed or have an LLC, you still have to file taxes. But what are the best filing options for your individual situation? With over 10 years experience working with artists and small organizations, Amy Smith will offer advice, handouts and help explain some of the more confusing tax subjects for artists (like what the IRS considers a hobby and what it considers a profession) what income must be claimed and what expenses are deductible. In addition, the mysteries of the City of Philadelphia Business Income and Receipts Tax and how it affects artists will be revealed.
All attendees will receive a discount coupon to use Amy's or her partner's services. Additionally, attendees who are Leeway grant recipients will recieve a coupon for a free 15-minutes individual session with Amy.
