Join us for this very special Beyond the Studio: Taxes for Artists: Everything You Need to Know to Run Your Creative Practice Smoothly, and Avoid Pitfalls.

What do I do with my receipts? Do I really need to pay quarterly taxes? Do I need an LLC or an S Corp? What is a Schedule C?

Come as you are–no prior knowledge needed.

Through a clear, friendly “tax pictionary” interactive whiteboard drawing demo, you’ll walk away understanding how your freelance income works with your other income, and the mechanics of paying estimated quarterly taxes for your freelance profit, why freelancers tend to underestimate their tax bill, and how to fix it. The goal is to provide clear, expert-backed answers that honor your creative or mission-driven work and make you feel calmer and more empowered to file your taxes this year. Bring your tax questions!
