Deep in the Heart of Taxes

As promised, here's the audio recordings of last Sunday's Tax and Finance for Production Personnel seminar. It's in three parts:

  • Part I: Nancy Adams' presentation on taxes and finance for the self-employed and freelancer filmmaker, focusing on different types of corporate entities and whether you should register as one.
  • Part II: The selfsame presentation, now concerned with tax deductions, residency rules, and protecting yourself in the event of an audit. 
  • Part III: A panel with Nancy Adams, CPAl Nick Huston, producer/sound mixer; Anne Johnson, production accountant; and Tammy Soto, insurance agent.

It's also available in two delicious flavors:
