Tax & Business Guide for Authors

The new tax plan has changed the landscape for authors. There are new tax deductions only some authors will be able to take advantage of. Other deductions are going away or will be reduced. If you want to get up to speed on the latest tax advice for authors, this course is for you.

Many authors ignore the business side of writing. This is a mistake since they often get into trouble with the IRS or pay way more than their fair share in taxes.

When April 15 rolls around, you took this course!
