Testimonials

I thought it was really useful. Your explanations were really clear. The information about the trickier expense categories was more helpful and thorough than I've heard before.
The real life examples you used were really helpful for understanding how it's all supposed to work in the context of a real life business. 

Louisa Armbrust

The webinar was fabulous, I feel much better about how I should go forward with tracking potential deductions.

Amanda Hill

The webinar was wonderful! Hannah broke down a huge amount of information into manageable sections and she speaks clearly and concisely. The accompanying PDF is a massively helpful resource, allowing me to quickly look up useful information.

FAQ

Is this another dry tax talk? Will there be jargon I don't know?

Here's what artist Dana Jones said:
"I did not expect a tax talk to be fun, or motivational. It was both, and inspirational to boot. Thanks for the insight and information. What a great resource you and your company are!"

How are you qualified to teach this?

I’m an Enrolled Agent, (which is an IRS-licensed tax expert) a speaker, and a writer. And I've been a practicing artist for over 15 years. I've been invited to speak about artist's taxes by dozens of organizations including RISD, Cornell and The Boston Foundation.

Is this toolkit tax deductible?

Yes!* 
*as long as you are a professional artists, creative, healer, and other visionary solopreneur operating in a business-like manner with an intent to make a profit, that you can prove. And yes, we talk all about this. It's not deductible if you're a hobbyist.

Why do you care?

I’ve been a working artist for over 15 years. And everything good that has happened in my art career has come from my fellow artists. I started Sunlight Tax to give back to the creative community that has nurtured me. When artists stop making work, the reason is usually financial. In this era of mistrust and breakdown, artists have work to do - we’re the ones who create connections, bridge divides, inspire people and call them to action, and we help people envision a world as it could be. So when I’m able to give other creative people the money tools they need to be financially stable, I’m supporting this critical work. I’m here to say that the world needs you right now. But also: You need a retirement fund. My mission with Sunlight Tax is to give you the financial security tools you need to take big risks and kick ass.
