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!

Want to have the Professional Beauty Federation take care of all the information and paperwork for you? Go to www.probeautyrelief.com to learn more.
