Taxes are always complicated for individuals in the arts, and this year, they will be especially so as individuals navigate unemployment and emergency relief in addition to creative earnings. We’ll review federal and state income tax basics for creative individuals, and discuss common deductions claimed by musicians plus what is different for 2020.

As part of this workshop, we'll:

• Identify ordinary and necessary deductions common to creative businesses.
• Review the overall income tax landscape for federal and state filings.
• Review the unemployment and emergency relief tax implications from 2020.
• Identify records to retain for tax purposes and effective systems for tracking expenses and income.
