Opis

Death and taxes: certainties, as Ben Franklin said. And taxes keep getting more complicated. New writers, artists, and craftsmen desire to derive all or part of their income from "expression activities" like writing, performing, or another art or craft. These people have special requirements when it comes to understanding how federal taxes apply to them. At last, this amusing how-to book provides "freelancers of expression" with information necessary to get the most out of unique tax situations, from how to determine if their activity is "for profit," to recordkeeping, to filing, to appealing determinations. Walt, a retired Enrolled Agent, worked for the IRS over 30 years, mostly as an Appeals Officer and manager in Appeals. Now he passes on expert insider advice to the writers and artisans who want to turn their hobbies into careers, or just learn the best strategies for managing their freelancing activities as they express themselves, making their crafts less taxing.
