"New Tax Guide is an invaluable resource for anyone making a living in the arts. Peter’s advice is clear, easy to understand, and a financial lifesaver." —Elizabeth Moloney, stage manager "If you have an MFA and not a CPA, you need this book. It’ll save you money, ease your mind, and keep you out of prison." —Chad Harbach, novelist "This extremely helpful book has given me tools I was sorely lacking. Without Peter Jason Riley and his illuminating tax guide, I would be an anchorless ship on the high seas of finance!" —Andre Dubus III, novelist "Peter Jason Riley has been transformational for our business. . . . For you artists and creative companies, I cannot recommend his sage wisdom enough! Buy this book and save yourself from the dread and confusion." —Megan Shea and Mike Rogers, filmmakers "The depth of Peter's knowledge combined with his ability to explain complicated tax law in simple and clear language is what makes this book such a great gift. Being a touring musician presents so many random and unpredictable variables when it comes to taxes. I no longer dread facing these tax scenarios that can be so intimidating." —Glenn Patscha, musician, producer, and composer Peter Jason Riley is a CPA in Newburyport, Massachusetts.
