CHATSWORTH, Calif.—The Free Speech Coalition (FSC) plans to offer a special panel this Thursday focused on tax preparation for adult workers, as well as how to take advantage of forgivable Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans. Part of the organization's INSPIRE program, "Tax Talk for Adult Workers" will be hosted by FSC industry relations advocate Lotus Lain, and will feature tax preparer Lauren Fumagalli, a veteran performer and IRS enrolled agent with 16 years of tax experience; bookkeeper Jessie Hornby (Nerds4Numbers); and performer/AILAA founder Mary Moody.
"This has been a highly unusual financial year for many performers," Lain said. "We've been getting so many questions online, we decided to put together an expert panel to discuss last minute filing issues for 2020, as well as PPP loans and strategies for reducing your tax burden in the year to come."
FSC held a previous INSPIRE tax panel in January with attorney Beth McKenna and tax domme Lori St. Kitts, but not all questions could get answered during the session.
"Sex work is real work," Lain continued. "They deserve the same resources and guidance as those who run mainstream businesses and the same support from the government. This panel will help our workers understand how to access COVID supprt, better protect their businesses, and legally reduce their tax burden."
"Tax Talk for Adult Workers" takes place Thursday at 11 a.m. PT, and will be held over Zoom. To register, sign up here.
