Legendary rock band HIM was at House of Blues in Disney Springs last night as a part of their farewell tour after 26 years together. Unfortunately, this will be our last Central Withholding Agreement with them as they are ending the band.

Delia had a blast in Miami, FL at the III Points Festival seeing our client, Gorillaz, perform! We wouldn’t miss a chance to see their first performance in Florida! Above you can see Delia with Damon Albarn and her brother.
Warped Tour Back In Orlando!
June 30, 2017 by
Today the Warped Tour returned to Orlando, held at Tinker Field, a park where the old Tinker Field minor league baseball stadium previously resided. However, the weather gods were not kind to our clients this year. A massive thunderstorm rolled through late afternoon. This wasn’t the typical Central Florida 20-minute hard storm – it lasted for quite some time. Luckily we were able to get there early and saw our client Neck Deep perform. The Warped Tour folks made a very smart decision to put them on early as the nasty afternoon weather was predicted.
A quick photo op for the band Neck Deep.
We had five clients performing at this event; Neck Deep, Trophy Eyes, Counterparts, Creeper, and Sonic Boom Six.
Here is a picture of Delia Figura, our International Accounts Supervisor, with Sonic Boom Six.
…and one more of Delia with Simon Scott from the band Creeper.
All in all, a very successful show for both our company and clients!
East Coast Music Awards
May 1, 2017 by
Saint John, New Brunswick was the site of the East Coast Music Awards shows this year – the first time they have been back to the city in 15 years.
This is one of the friendliest cities on the planet. I had the opportunity to visit Saint John about 10 years ago as a stop on a cruise.
A few hours in a town gives only an appetizer. Spending three nights there is excellent.
I had a chance to see a few clients perform. I’m happy to report that one of our clients, Les Hotesses d’Hilaire, won the 2017 Enregistrement Francophone de L’Annee Award. (Francophone Record of the Year)
This is an incredibly well-run festival that may end up on my regular annual circuit. Next year it is in Halifax – another wonderful Canadian city I would like to go back to.
Korean Zombie Returns to UFC!
February 5, 2017 by
Last night our client, Chan Sung Jung, was back in the Octagon as the headline event in the UFC Fight Night 104 at the Houston Toyota Center. He was returning after a three and a half year layoff in which he was serving mandatory required military duty in South Korea.
The crowd went wild after he won with a knockout in the first of a scheduled five rounds.
Here are some more snippets of the event from Bleacher Report:
Chan Sung Jung puts the finishing touches on Dennis Bermudez at UFC Fight Night on Saturday night.Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports
Three-and-a-half years isn’t an eternity, but in the land of combat sports, it can be something close. In this cruel world, fighters can age out in months. When you’re talking years, you’re talking eras.
Witness, for instance, the story of Chan Sung Jung, who last competed in August 2013 before missing time to an injury and mandatory military service in his native South Korea.
So 1,282 days later, at UFC Fight Night in Houston on Saturday, Jung returned as a mystery. Such lengthy breaks during a fighter’s prime are nearly unprecedented in major MMA. Yet there he was, still just 29 years old and, for onlookers, frozen in time and reputation.
Would he return rusty? As if he hadn’t skipped a beat? Improved?
The answer was a combination of it all. But in the end, the Zombie did what the Zombie does, overcoming stacked odds, surviving danger, then eating his opponent’s soul.
This photo was taken the night before when Cecile met with Chan. His smile is from Cecile telling him how much more money he’ll be taking home due to using our services for filing a proper Tax Withholding Agreement.
Protest the Hero at House of Blues
February 4, 2017 by
Last night Jackie and I had the opportunity to go back to House of Blues at Disney Springs.
Our client from Canada, Protest the Hero, was performing to a packed house.
They were the feature group for August Burns Red’s 10th-anniversary Tour.
Here’s a picture of Jackie with Tim MacMillar after the show-
APAP – 2017 in New York City
January 8, 2017 by
I’m in New York City again for this year’s APAP convention. There is a reason why I have lived in Florida for more than 50 years. I’ve also discovered you can no longer make snow angels in front of the Trump Tower…
CERTIFIED ACCEPTANCE AGENTS/ITINs
January 1, 2017 by
CWA Management is very excited to announce that our sister company, Business Development Partners Inc, has been appointed as a Certified Acceptance Agent by the IRS. Business Development Partners is a 29 year CPA firm based in Orlando. We strongly believe that foreign artists should get a US Social Security Number if possible. We consider it to be a superior number to an ITIN. However, there are times when getting an SSN is not possible. An ITIN may be the only solution to getting tax refunded. We can do this for you!
Here is a good article written by Daniel Hood from the website Accounting Today that goes into further detail about expiring ITINs for 2017.
Many ITINs due to expire, IRS warns
Many Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers will expire on Jan. 1, 2017, and ITIN holders hoping to avoid refund delays should renew now, the Internal Revenue Service is warning.
ITINs are used by anyone who has to pay or file U.S. taxes, but isn’t eligible for a Social Security number. Under a recent tax law change, ITINs that haven’t been used on a tax return in the last three years will expire at the beginning of next year.
Also set to expire are ITINs with 78 or 79 as the fourth and fifth digits (9NN-79-NNNN or 9NN-79-NNNN).
While those with expired ITINs can apply for renewal after January 1, the IRS is warning that the usual application period of as little as seven weeks is likely to be as much as four weeks longer for those who submit in January and February.
The service also noted that is seeing a number of common mistakes on renewal applications so far, primarily involving missing information and insufficient supporting information.
