TAX ISSUES FOR ARTISTS

Washington Lawyers for the Arts (WLA) is hosting a virtual workshop on May 24, 2022, to help you better understand tax issues related to the business of art.  Tax and art don't share a lot in common other than being three-letter words, but, as a creative entrepreneur, you need to understand the basics.

This session will cover essential tax topics at both the federal and state level - for individual artists and small business owners alike.  A few of the topics will include:

• the basics of business formation, including entity selection (and associated tax consequences);

• business deductions and substantiating deductible expenses;

• employment/self-employment taxes;

• the tax implications of hiring employees;

• working with tax and legal professionals;

• donating created works;

• travel and work in other states;

• general state and local tax issues; and

• common tax pitfalls.
