Entertainment Taxes
Entertainers have some of the most complicated tax requirements. You may have to deal with the complexities of being an independent contractor with a high net worth. You may have to understand how to calculate federal and multi-state tax liabilities and even international income. If you’re a non-resident alien serving as an athlete or entertainer, you have your own special tax requirements.
