The Professional Beauty Federation heard your concerns and made it even easier to get your free relief money - with NO upfront cost to you. Companies got a bunch of Covid relief money... but what about the independent and self-employed? They did too, and it's still out there! Fred Jones, Head Counsel and Advocate for the Professional Beauty Federation joins this week to share an update on the Self-Employed Tax Credit. This little known federal program seeks to replace income that 1099, self-employed and independent salon, spa, and barbershop workers lost during the Covid years — as a result of lockdowns, worksite capacity limits, Covid illness or vaccine reactions, medical or self-imposed quarantines, children stuck at home doing virtual/remote learning, etc. Listen in to see if you qualify and how much you could be getting!
