ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:
Are you someone who lives in the US, earns less than 80k, hates and avoids tax season because your taxes feel like it’s impossibly confusing? Are you new or considering being self employed (or you're already self employed) and/or you're someone who has always felt confused and discouraged every tax season? Then this 101 crash course workshop is for you!!! By taking this workshop, you will gain confidence to learn how to file your own taxes for FREE instead of paying $$$ for someone else to file for you. This workshop is highly encouraged for: students, under the table workers, spicy workers, teachers, gig workers, those new to freelancing or considering freelancing.

☆ REQUIREMENTS: computer to access Zoom ☆

ABOUT THE TEACHING ARTIST:
Gata (she/they) is a queer angry Afro Caribeña femme, intersectional feminista who still takes pandemic precautions, organizes free community events, leads in community crowdfunding efforts and advocates for disability justice.

Gata is trauma-informed, and leads with curiosity and kindness. They created the “Bureaucratic Baddie series” which was inspired from sharing best practices in navigating different bureaucratic systems in order to help each other meet needs instead of hoping needs get met from systems that do not serve us.

Other workshops Gata provides includes:
- helping tenants learn how to sue their landlord in small claims court for security deposits (California only).
- helping self employed folks learn the process of obtaining business licenses and DBAs for bureaucratic situations (Los Angeles only).
