WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION

Whether you’re getting grants, selling or performing art, self-employed or have an LLC, you still have to file taxes. But, what are the best filing options for your individual situation? With over 25 years experience working with artists and small businesses, Christianne Kapps will offer advice, handouts and help explain some of the more confusing tax subjects for artists. In addition, Christianne will explain the City of Philadelphia’s Business Income and Receipts Tax and how it affects artists.

All attendees will receive a discount coupon to use Christianne's or her partner's services. Additionally, attendees who are Leeway grant recipients will receive a coupon for a free 15-minutes individual session with Christianne.
