Zoom: FREE Seminar - BRASS TAXES: Tax Help for Freelancers and Artists with Brass Taxes

Wednesday, February 19, 2025, 4pm ET / 1pm PT

Price: Free

Brass Taxes helps creatives & freelancers with their taxes, but we're really about creating an honest, comfortable atmosphere for each person to actually get their questions answered.

Taxes can be weird & painful. Brass Taxes focuses on communication, transparency, and education to help make this stuff less stressful and annoying.

Topics to be discussed include:

  • How to make tax time suck less! (If that's too much) How to make tax time not quite so terrible and confusing!
  • We will go over how to track expenses and judge what's a legitimate business expense. Also how to estimate what you'll owe at tax time, whether to pay estimated taxes, and how a w-2 job interacts with any 1099 money.
  • We can also discuss when it may make sense to incorporate if you are moving to mostly w-2 work. We will give everyone a short take away about how to keep expenses categorized during the year and how to estimate what you'll owe on your untaxed income come tax time.

She worked in the film industry for a decade before recognizing she had no idea how to correctly do her taxes! Theresa found Brass Taxes just in time and was a client for years before realizing that helping freelancers with their taxes is oddly satisfying work. When she's not doing taxes or working on films, she’s talking to folks about death while remembering to celebrate life by dancing, hiking, and speculating about the solar system.
