| Kris Roberts, of Roberts Tax Group, based in Torrington CT on the air at WAPJ on Wednesdays. |
With gentle persuasion, Kris Roberts coaxed a group of artists and art professionals into a discussion of tax pitfalls and working with the IRS to resolve issues. The talk took place at Washington Art Association on Monday night, just in time for the dreaded tax prep sessions for 2016, with a look to 2017. She knows from whence she speaks -- she's married to a musician. If you missed this session, you might be lucky enough to find her on your radio dial all during tax season on WAPJ during the Miscellaneous Morning Show on Wednesdays with Barrie Soucy. http://www.wapjfm.com/ to listen live
Washington Art Association (WAA) in Washington Depot CT hosted this talk, hopefully the first of a series of professional development workshops for artists. Some of the topics covered included how to find a good tax preparer who meets your comfort level; use of an enrolled agent versus a neighborhood franchise tax preparer with a foam mascot (you get what you pay for, and it may not be a qualified tax preparer); what to deduct and what records to keep; how to write off a home studio; loss carryforwards; mileage bookkeeping and deduction; expensing show commissions; online bookkeeping programs -- Quickbooks; and sales tax preparation. She also addressed common IRS scams and how to avoid them.
Many thanks to Barbara Von Schreiber and Peter Talbot of WAA for organizing and promoting this forum, and to Kris Roberts for taking the time to speak with the group.
