If you spent the last few years bracing for a 1099-K to show up after $600 in sales, you can stop bracing. That threshold never took full effect, and the law has now moved in the opposite direction.
For most craft sellers, the practical result is that a form you were expecting will not arrive. The part worth understanding is that this changes almost nothing about what you owe. Read more.

This free directory features listings and links to useful tools for visual artists growing small businesses. From our friends at Artsy Shark.
President Donald Trump’s tariffs have led to a tangle of red tape and extra expenses for Canadian wool producers and hobbyists, and some are walking away from their U.S. customers altogether.
Judy Enright Smith, who owns the Wabi Sabi yarn shop in Ottawa, said she’s running out of patience. The last time her American supplier visited, she wore an “Elbows Up” T-shirt.
“At first, it was business,” she said. “Now, it’s personal.”
The U.S. has imposed 50 per cent tariffs on greasy wool imports and some finished wool products, affecting Canadian wool producers who ship their product south to be scoured. Read more

What's the biggest problem with your artist website? Is it a lack of traffic? Artsy Shark asked 93 artists two questions: What do you want your website to accomplish? and What are your biggest website challenges? They then compared their answers with findings from professional reviews of those same sites.
The results were surprising, and they revealed an important disconnect. The new Artist Website Study explains what they found and offers practical ways to help your website turn more visitors into buyers and inquiries. Don't miss this report with specific details on the real reasons that art websites don't sell.
