Artists and taxes is a complex space. Artist and tax advisor, Hannah Cole helps untangle the topic.

Hyperallergic is a site that I visit and read daily. Through their clear and timely writing on art and culture, Hyperallergic’s writers offer a fresh, always super-current perspective. The online publication was founded in 2009 by husband-and-husband team, Veken Gueyikian and Hrag Vartanian. It’s an entertaining and educational forum that’s sometimes playful, sometimes serious—often a tad bit radical.

About this podcast, Hrag says, “I speak to Hannah Cole, from Sunlight Tax, who is an artist and tax professional, about the challenges of artist taxes—her specialty—and what people should watch out for if they don’t want to be audited.

If you have an artistic bent, give this a listen. It will be a well-spent 45-minutes with an IRS Enrolled Agent.

Finally, Hrag sends a special thanks to Mark Pritchard of Warp Records for providing the music for this episode.

As a Sr. Writer at T. Rowe Price, I work with a group of the best copywriters around. We belong to the broader creative team within Enterprise Creative, a part of Corporate Marketing Services. _____________________________________________ A long and winding road: My path to T. Rowe Price was more twisted than Fidelity’s green line. With scholarship in hand, I left Kansas at 18 to study theatre in New York. When my soap opera paychecks stopped coming from CBS and started coming from the show’s sponsor, Proctor & Gamble, I discovered the power of advertising and switched careers. Over the years I’ve owned an ad agency in San Francisco; worked for Norman Lear on All in the Family, Good Times, Sanford and Son, and the rest of his hit shows; and as a member of Directors Guild of America, I directed Desi Arnaz in his last television appearance— we remained friends until his death. In 1988 I began freelancing full time didn’t look back. In January 2012 my rep at Boss Group called and said, “I know you don’t want to commute and writing for the financial industry isn’t high on your wish list, but I have a gig with T. Rowe Price in Owings Mills…” I was a contractor for eight months, drank the corporate Kool-Aid, became a TRP associate that August, and today I find myself smiling more often than not.
