Taxes, Business & Financial Planning for Artists & Creatives
Whether you’re already established, or just now building your brand, tax work for photographers, designers, musicians, painters, and more.
-
State Income & Sales Taxes
State tax considerations matter for creative professions. Depending on several factors, including your “nexus”, you could owe state income, state sales, and state use tax, in your home state and other states, for the art you produce and sell.
-
Business Structure & Licenses
Have you established an LLC? Does your home state require a business license, or maybe even a “privilege” license? Do you get paid through a third party payment app (like Paypal)?
-
Digital, Tangible, Intellectual Property
Different states have different tax rules depending on the type of product or service you create and sell. The compliance rules vary per state, and can quickly get complicated.
