Taxes for Artists
What can I deduct? Should I bring receipts to my accountant? Is my art a business or a hobby? What is a Schedule C? How do I deduct my home studio?
The Boston Foundation’s Live Arts Boston program and the Harvard Ed Portal are proud to present a workshop with Hannah Cole, a tax expert who specializes in working with creative businesses and artists. A long-time working artist with a high-level exhibition history, Hannah founded Sunlight Tax to respond to the financial challenges of freelancers and small creative businesses. Her specialty is communicating complex tax issues in a clear, artist-centered, empowering way. She will explain how freelance taxes work, how to pay estimated quarterly taxes, the Schedule C (how freelance taxes get reported), and audit issues specifically relevant to artists and creative workers. Hannah incorporates your questions into her talk, and will leave you feeling informed and empowered.
