Annual Evening Tax Workshop for Artists and the Attorneys Representing Them
Wednesday, February 24th, 2010, 7:00pm - 10:00pm
Presented by Washington Lawyers for the Arts and Advocates for the Arts
Depreciation, capital gains, deductions, W-2s, 1099s! Having trouble keeping track of it all? Neil Sussman's popular tax workshop is back to guide artists and their attorneys through yet another season of gains, losses, formulas and forms. Learn all the basics you need, plus special tips and what's new for your 2009 tax return.
Designed specifically to address the arts and entertainment issues, topics to be covered will include:
- What deductions can be claimed
- What tax forms to use and how to fill them out
- How to keep business and tax records in an organized manner
- How to minimize the chances of getting audited
"All the information at an affordable price," and "I knew next to nothing about taxes before this workshop; now I have some great info" are just two of the many favorable comments we received from previous workshops. Space is limited for what is sure to be a popular event, so early registration is encouraged!
