February 2012 Meeting: Income Tax Information for Writers, presented by Bruce Meyers, Certified Public Accountant with the Hantz Financial Group.Completing and filing individual income tax forms is one item all of us need to cross off our personal to do lists by April 15th of each year. For authors and artists, allowable deductions and rules, particularly as they pertain to the IRS hobby versus business regulations, can be different and confusing. Taking part in the February 18 meeting will help make this task somewhat easier for MMRWA members and guests. The program itself will be brief in order to allow plenty of time for a question and answer session. on Saturday, March 19 at La Senorita‘s Restaurant, 2706 Lake Lansing Road, Lansing, Michigan beginning at 11:30 AM. Bruce Meyers is a graduate of Michigan State University with both a Bachelor of Arts in Accounting and a Master of Business Administration. Bruce began his career in 1995 as a tax consultant with Ernst & Young LLP and became a Certified Public Accountant in 1997. Bruce’s professional experience also includes time as a management consultant helping Fortune 500 companies install and/or upgrade their accounting systems. Bring your income tax questions and plan to join us on February 18 at the Delhi Café, 4625 Willoughby Road, Holt, MI (Lansing)! |
