Q&A: Tax Tips for Authors 2024

As an author, filing taxes brings up a variety of questions about decisions that can greatly impact your tax liability. What expenses qualify as business deductions, and how do you report writing income from various sources? Is there anything you might consider doing now to improve your tax situation for next year?

Join us for a Q&A with Robert Pesce, the treasurer of the Authors Guild Foundation, and author Erin Lowry, host of our Money Matters series. Expect straight answers in plain language and thoughtful advice about how to approach the more complex tax issues for authors.

A Q&A will follow the presentation; you can pre-submit a question when registering for the event. A recording will be made available for those who cannot attend live.

The event will take place via Zoom with automatic closed captioning. To request any other accessibility features, please email support@authorsguild.org and we will make every effort to accommodate.
