Take Two: A Step-by-step guide to applying for MA Tax Credits
Microsoft's New England and Development Center 1 Memorial Drive Cambridge MA | September 19, 2017 | 6:30 PM - 8:00 PM
Cost: $FREE but registration is required
A Partner Event Sponsored by:
FILMMAKERS COLLABORATIVE along with
LEF FOUNDATION and THE CENTER FOR INDEPENDENT DOCUMENTARY
If you were able to join us on June 14, 2017 for the “Demystifying Tax Credits” Seminar, you were given an overview of exactly what these credits are, how they are used and how to qualify.
We know that:
- Minimum qualified spending is only $50K!
- Features, Documentaries and multiple episode series all qualify!
- Credits are transferable ( meaning you can borrow against them, use them or sell them)!
- BUT….
If you were left thinking “Yes, but how do I apply?”, this workshop is for you!
Please join us on Tuesday, Sept. 19, as we take you step-by-step through the entire process – from how to register with the State, through filing for the appropriate tax credit, to ways to finance your film through the tax credits.
It’s free of charge, but space is limited. Sign up now !
On hand again will be Wendy Riseborough, a Producer and Project Manager for Independent filmmakers who has applied for and received tax credits over 20 times in her career. Wendy has seen it all and lucky for us is willing to share her stories of success and challenges along the way.
