This is the first workshop in the Summer Tax Series. Presented by Rosemary Bocian (Johnson) MA, EA, NIC Enrolled Agent-ASL Interpreter

3-hour workshop

Event Description

Being a freelance interpreter requires more than just interpreting. Focus is so heavily placed on language and skill that the business side of the profession often falls through the cracks. Through engaging content and hands-on activities, participants will learn how to avoid the most common tax mistakes that interpreters make. By becoming tax savvy freelancers, interpreters can transform their business practices and improve their current and future careers.

At the conclusion of the training, participants will be able to:

Calculate taxable income
Indicate at least 3 differences between 1099 and W2 income
Identify the difference between an LLC and Liability Insurance
State at least 4 business tax deductions
Implement tax planning throughout the year by using a budget-based scheduling approach

This workshop is intended for working interpreters, interpreting students and allies who are interested in improving the profession of interpreting. This workshop will be taught at the beginning level and assumes participants have little knowledge of this topic.
