Lunch & Learn Webinar: Tax Tips for Artists, Influencers, Entertainers, & Musicians — The Creative Side of Compliance

If you’re an artist, influencer, entertainer, or musician, chances are your income doesn’t come in neat, predictable paychecks. Brand deals, gig income, royalties, sponsorships, digital sales, tips, and platform payouts can make tax compliance confusing—and costly—if handled incorrectly.

That’s why I’m hosting a complimentary Lunch & Learn webinar designed specifically for creatives who want clarity, not tax jargon.

Who This Webinar Is For

This session is tailored for creatives who earn income through nontraditional channels, including visual artists, content creators, YouTubers, TikTok and Instagram influencers, musicians, performers, actors, DJs, and freelancers in creative fields. Whether you’re just starting out or already monetizing your work, understanding your tax obligations early can prevent expensive mistakes later.

What We’ll Cover

This webinar focuses on the real-world tax issues creatives face, including how different types of income are taxed, when you’re considered self-employed, and why 1099s don’t tell the full story. We’ll walk through common deductions creatives often miss, how to track expenses properly, and when forming an LLC or S corporation may—or may not—make sense. We’ll also discuss estimated taxes, cash flow planning, and audit red flags that disproportionately affect artists and influencers.

This is not theory. It’s practical compliance guidance you can actually use.

Why This Matters

Creative professionals are often overpaying taxes, underreporting income, or unintentionally triggering penalties simply because the rules were never explained in plain English. The IRS does not give “creative exemptions,” and platform income is more visible than ever. Getting ahead of compliance now protects your income, your brand, and your peace of mind.

What You’ll Walk Away With

By the end of this Lunch & Learn, you’ll understand how your creative income is taxed, what records you should be keeping, which deductions are legitimate, and how to plan proactively instead of reacting at tax time. You’ll also know when it’s time to bring in professional help—and what that help should actually look like.

Creative work deserves creative freedom—but tax compliance still applies. If you want to understand the rules, reduce stress, and protect what you’re building, this session is for you. If you have questions before or after the webinar, reach out to info@mkhstaxgroup.com.
