<p>BT'sMom
My D was notified she was in at AIB the first week of February
Massart's acceptance letter arrived three weeks later.</p>
<p>It should be noted that my daughter applied to all her college choices regular decision - but well ahead of the the deadlines. This was at the urging of her guidance counselor and I would have discouraged it if she had not been ready. This is probably why she heard so early. </p>
<p>Good luck !</p>

<p>D accepted with a merit scholarship to Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts awaiting MICA's letter (she was offered Early Acceptance based on NPD review, but procrastinated ;-)</p>
<p>Looked at Pratt, RISD, Cooper Union, SMFA Boston, UArts as well but none of these worked for her sensibilities.</p>
<p>Thank you artmom08, your good luck must have worked as my daughter received her acceptance letter from AIB today! Looks like we'll be heading up there the first weekend in April then so she can get a feel for AIB & her other schools in MA. Thanks a bunch!</p>
<p>... and for the record, bless your daughter for getting her apps in early as my D has been the most ridiculous procrastinator!</p>

<p>great news BT - congratulations !</p>
<p>Another one to add to the list... DD just received her acceptance letter to SMFA Boston at Tufts.</p>
<p>UARTS w/merit - letter came today. It's really "gorr"s d not gorr who got in. I should have been more clear before.</p>
<p>wow, I'm going to bump this thread</p>
<p>Congrats everyone! :) good times...
I got accepted to Otis, Parsons, CalArts and SVA and after much thought, I think I'll be going to SVA.</p>
<p>Other art forums - Know of any for Uarts, Mica, Tyler, and TCNJ? (public university building a new art school).</p>
<p>Does anyone have experience or knowledge of the record keeping need for art students? I have heard self employment expenses are a bit different and record keeping is important and sometimes more difficult to prove, such as travel ralated expenses. Also, if art is sold over the internet how many states must a return or sales tax returns be filed? I guess my question is, "What does an artist need to know or do for income tax filing?</p>
<p>Astraywonder- what major at calarts?</p>
<p>First, spend a little money talk to a tax professional. Free advice is worth that, and nothing more. That said, here's a little info.</p>
<p>Record keeping is important. Keep your receipts, keep a notebook in your cart to record mileage for any work related car trips. This can include trips to the art supply store, the gallery or shop, etc.</p>
<p>On deductions for home studio space, the rules are <em>very</em> tight. It must be a room that is solely dedicated to your art -- the corner of your bedroom or living room will not cut it. It must be a separate room, with a door that closes. But paints, canvas, paper, notebooks, art related books, subscriptions, memberships, etc. are deductible.</p>
<p>Art sold over the internet pays federal income tax via your schedule C on all sales. You pay local state income tax only on sales made and delivered within your state. So if you live in California and send a piece to someone in New Jersey, there is no California state tax on that, or New Jersey tax. </p>
<p>There is some sort of requirement of making a profit to be able to deduct your expenses over a certain number of years -- I don't recall what it is -- maybe three years out of five? If that's the case, then maybe you make a profit in year one, but not in year two. You declare a loss for year two, make a profit in year three -- but if you need to declare a loss in year four, it's no longer considered a business, it's a hobby, and you can't take the loss.</p>
<p>Again, talk to a professional. Your school or a local arts organization may have resources available to you at little or no cost.</p>
