SBDC Webinar Series to Help Self

Self-employed business owners in Wyoming can get the tax help they need.

A Wyoming Small Business Development Center (SBDC) business fitness webinar series, titled “Tax Considerations for the Self-Employed,” is scheduled Feb. 1, 8 and 15, from 2-3 p.m.

The SBDC is a partnership among the University of Wyoming, the Wyoming Business Council and the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA). The SBDC focuses on educating small-business owners and potential owners on how to successfully start and operate small businesses. The SBDC’s main office is located at UW.

Keith Hall, a CPA and National Association for the Self-Employed (NASE) tax expert, offers personalized tax consulting on incorporation, automobile expenses, and home office and travel expense deductions to thousands of small-business owners. Hall, president and CEO of NASE, will present three hourlong webinars to help the self-employed with their 2017 taxes. He will discuss recent tax changes and tips, and answer questions. 

The Feb. 1 webinar will cover the top five tax questions that small-business owners ask. For those new to self-employment, the webinar will cover business entity formation, estimated taxes, and automobile and travel deductions. On Feb. 8, attendees will learn how to “audit-proof” their tax returns. The Feb. 15 program will provide attendees with tips on how to maximize tax savings by hiring your children; taking the home office deduction; using retirement contributions and more.

The fee for all three programs is $15, and attendees can register at www.wyomingsbdc.org. This program will be recorded and available to registered attendees who are unable to attend.

Reasonable accommodations for persons with disabilities will be made, if requested at least two weeks in advance. Language assistance services for clients with limited English proficiency will be provided. For more information, call Peggy Baker at 1-800-348-5194.
