What can I deduct? What do I do with my receipts? Do I need an LLC or an S Corp? Do I really need to pay quarterly taxes? What is a Schedule C? How do I deduct my home studio/office? Is my creative work a business or a hobby?
All She Wrote Books, East Somerville Main Streets and MA LGBTQ Chamber of Commerce is hosting a tax Q&A session with Hannah Cole of Sunlight Tax to gather and address your most pressing tax questions. The goal is to provide clear, expert-backed answers that honor your work as a small business and make you feel better and more equipped.
Hannah Cole is a tax expert who specializes in working with creative businesses and artists. She’s a long-time working artist with a high-level exhibition history, host of the Sunlight Tax podcast, founder of Sunlight Tax, and author of Taxes for Humans: Simplify Your Taxes and Change the World When You’re Self-Employed.
You can also get Hannah’s tax help in her book, Taxes for Humans. It’s an empowering guide to doing (and simplifying) your taxes when you’re self-employed, and the accompanying workbook has the tax organizer and checklists you need to get it all done, every year.
About Taxes for Humans
This is not your dad's tax guide; this is your punk rock older sister's
Equal parts empathetic and practical, Taxes for Humans is a handbook for tackling the tax-season-scaries, written specifically for people who are self-employed. Provides essential tax education for those pushed to the back of the financial line in America, including women, queer people, and BIPOC folks, this book provides the practical tools people need to understand their taxes, conquer their fear of finances, bulk up on tax benefits, and end the tax season stronger, smarter, and more tax-savvy than ever--without sacrificing their sanity.
With accessibility in mind, this book is structured into an easy-to-follow framework:
- The Mindset: Address limiting beliefs and make the case for tax empowerment
- The Education: Start from the ground-level, without shame or jargon, and lay a foundation of tax knowledge
- The Organization: Build the systems that will get you organized and keep you organized
- The Level-up: Take up space by using next-level skills like planning and tax-smart accounts to grow your wealth (and power)
- The Fix: Mend a broken tax situation (audits, disappearing spouses, back-taxes, and escaping the tax-debt spiral)
- The Bigger Picture: Connect your personal wellbeing with the wellbeing of the communities you love
Taxes for Humans is an essential read for all freelancers, creatives, and self-employed people seeking to understand, take control of, and reduce stress surrounding their tax.
