This essential tax handbook is specifically designed for musicians, actors, songwriters, dancers, singers, entertainers, and other full or part-time creative professionals. It includes over 550 legal U.S. income tax deductions and valuable information on how to claim them. As a professional musician, I have been blessed by having two sisters who are both excellent accountants. They own their own firms and have been in very successful for many years.
Every accountant is extremely busy during income tax season.
From the beginning of January to the end of April, my sisters both put in up to twenty hours a day, six or seven days a week. Each of my sisters have offered to do my tax computations for me, for free. However, I haven't wanted to burden them during their busiest season. So I learned to do the job myself, bugging them with only my phone calls for information and guidance. Through the years, I got quite good at it.
