About This Workshop
Trump's tax law changes, and more changes made to California tax law this year, will have a major impact on creatives in 2020. For example, Producers can no longer rely on the Section 181 tax deduction. There is another deduction they can rely on, and in some ways it is better, but the terms of the deduction are substantially different and the requirements are harder to meet. Also, California has new rules that cover employment including contractors. They impact, among others, actors who have loan out companies. If you are crowdfunding projects, getting grants, setting up a new company this year or next, this is an important event to attend because there may be steps you have to take before December 31 in order maximize your deductions in 2020.
Tip: If you are building a film and you want to have it funded by investors, you need to work with a tax adviser who understands all the rules that govern this kind of investment as you build your business plan and pitch.
