After Larry, Etsy Team Columbus will speak about their mentoring and support services for local Etsy sellers, and tell you about their events for artist in Central Ohio.

Taxes for Artists – What you should know
Presented by Mark Van Benschoten, CPA; Director of Not-for-Profit Services at Rea & Associates
May 21, 7:30 – 9:00 PM
Jazz Academy, 760 East Long Street, 4th Flr Conf Rm
There’s a lot more to being an artist than creating art – especially from a tax perspective. Do you have to file a return? Are you classifying your income and expenses appropriately? Are you getting all the deductions you could, like for supplies, mileage, advertising and training? Do you face any potential employment tax issues? In this presentation, Mark will teach artists and art students about the “business” of being an artist. Join Mark Van Benschoten, CPA; Director of Not-for-Profit Services at Rea & Associates, for this informative session.
Please RSVP to attend this event to Ruby Harper at rharper@gcac.org. Walk-ins welcome, space allowing.
