Tax Preparation Training Program (LA)
Looking for a great parallel career to help supplement the earnings from your industry work? Are you detail-oriented and like numbers? Professional tax preparation might be a good parallel career for you!
For the first time, The Career Center at The Actors Fund and the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program (VITA) are coming together to offer a free, two-stage Tax Preparation Training Program for entertainment industry professionals.
Stage One – Tax Preparation Course
Participants will learn tax law, tax return preparation and the many unique ways entertainment professionals in a freelance environment need to manage income and expenses. This nine-week course will start on October 13th and meet every Thursday evening from 6:30PM to 9:30PM at The Actors Fund’s office on Wilshire Blvd. We will not meet the week of Thanksgiving.
Stage Two – VITA Internship
After completing the Tax Preparation Course, candidates will volunteer in The Actors Fund VITA program in February and March, 2017, to gain hands-on experience. These sessions are also held at the Wilshire location. Obtaining VITA certification will be part of the 9 week course. The two part training program is geared toward helping candidates prepare for taking the CTEC exam (California Tax Education Council).
