Are there any special deductions for performing artists?
Performing artists can deduct job related expenses as an adjustment to income, opposed to an itemized deduction. For performing artists, there are some qualifications they must meet:
During the tax year, you perform services in the performing arts as an employee for at least two employers.
You receive at least $200 each from any two of these employers.
Your related performing-arts business expenses are more than 10% of your gross income from the performance of those services.
Your adjusted gross income is not more than $16,000 before deducting these business expenses.
