Rus Garofalo is teaming up with One Broke Actress to get rid of all the mystery behind taxes for creative professionals. When taxes come around, I know I get really stressed out with the dozens of W-2's and 1099's and what to write off and what not to write off and... it can be a lot. That's why Rus founded Brass Taxes, and why he continues to seek out team members who empathize with and can understand the hurdles that working actors, freelancers, and artists go through. So if you've ever had questions about what you should do to prep for your next tax return, this is for you.
