About the workshop:
Can I deduct my monthly mani-pedis? Do I really need to have my receipts? Does my storage room count as an office space? What makes a costume/prop become an asset?
If these questions crossed your mind as you prepared your taxes, you are not alone. Join us for this introductory course to tax write-offs and the best potential ways to organize yourself as a business to get the best deductions each year. An active member of the local theatre and burlesque communities and an overall fan of taxes, Court has a unique understanding of the ins and outs of taxes.
Please note: this workshop is based in the context of taxes in the USA. If you are a performer in another country, the answers may vary. Court is also open to individual consultations.
