If it is true that the only certain things in life are death and taxes, this Artist Lab from Creative Capital will make navigating one of those things considerably easier. Instructor Dr. Elaine Grogan Luttrull, a certified public accountant, personal financial specialist, and accredited financial counselor, reviewed federal income tax basics for artists, including common deductions claimed and 2024 tax year updates. Elaine outlined how the tax landscape changes based on the type of income an artist earns and highlighted key aspects of tax law that impact financial wellness, including deducting interest for student loan payments and saving for retirement.
