Frequently Asked Questions
-
Yes. Royalty income, touring pay, and multi-state or international 1099 income need someone who understands entertainment-specific tax mechanics — a generalist accountant can file your return, but may miss structuring and withholding issues specific to creative income.
-
A CPA is a state-licensed professional who has passed the CPA Exam and met state licensure requirements, including full representation rights before the IRS. A tax preparer can prepare and sign returns but may not have the same licensing or representation authority. Chevy is an active CPA candidate — she can prepare and sign returns, and is completing licensure requirements for full representation rights.
-
Royalty payments are taxed as ordinary income in the year received, regardless of source — whether from PROs, The MLC, SoundExchange, sync licensing, or a label statement. There’s no special “royalty tax rate”; it’s added to your total earnings and taxed at your regular federal and state rates.
-
Yes — this is a core specialty. Chevy’s background includes cross-border royalty accounting and 1042/1042-S withholding from her time at Sony Music, Epic Records, and Paramount Global.
-
It depends on income level and how many revenue streams you’re running. Generally, an LLC is the first step once income becomes consistent, and an S-corp election becomes worth considering once net income clears roughly $40,000–$60,000. We can help you determine the right timing.
-
Not currently — as an active CPA candidate, Chevy can prepare and sign returns, but full IRS representation in audit or collection matters requires licensure, which she is completing.
