Taxes may be one of the most unpopular topics in art circles, but we all have to deal with them. So in this episode, I speak to [Hannah Cole](https://hyperallergic.com/author/hannah-cole/), from [Sunlight Tax](https://www.sunlighttax.com/?ref=hyperallergic.com), who is an artist and tax professional, about the challenges of artist taxes — her specialty — and what people should watch out for if they don’t want to be audited. She offers lots of useful insight.

A special thanks to [Mark Pritchard](https://warp.net/artists/91428-mark-pritchard?ref=hyperallergic.com) of Warp Records for providing the music to [this episode](https://hyperallergic.simplecast.com/episodes/what-artists-need-to-know-about-taxes?ref=hyperallergic.com).
