Recent federal tax legislation and the last few years of economic disruptions have affected us all— and will also affect our 2025 tax returns. As a self-employed massage therapist, about 10-20% of your net income will go to taxes, including federal income tax, social security, medicare, and state and local taxes. This is often a small business person's largest single expense, and it behooves us to know how to skillfully manage this expense.
This class will be live and in-person, not a webinar. In class we will focus on how to "think Schedule C" and legally maximize our allowable business deductions. We will also cover form 1040, tax planning, tax estimating, avoiding audits, the pros and cons of various tax software programs, and the legalities of hiring contractors or employees.
Besides being packed with useful information, this class is fun, entertaining, and full of tips on how to legally save money on your taxes--you will easily recover your tuition in tax savings. You will also receive more individual attention than in a typical tax seminar due to the smaller size of the class. A special treat for this class: Josie Parkhurst, CPA and LMT, will join us for the entire day to answer any questions, including the implications of the recent tax laws.
Please note that this is a live, interactive lecture class, and does not satisfy Washington's requirement for 8 hours of live, hands-on CE training.
