Entertainment Taxes

​

Entertainers have some of the most complicated tax requirements. You may have to deal with the complexities of being an independent contractor with a high net worth. You may have to understand how to calculate federal  and multi-state tax liabilities and even international income. If you are a non-resident alien serving as an athlete or entertainer, you have your own special tax requirements.

 

Entertainment professionals also have access to lesser-known tax deductions and incentives, and we take steps to ensure that you receive every advantage you are entitled to. From calculating finders fees to understanding central withholding agreements, we take care of all the tax details.
