Bottom line is being a musician is very costly save all your receipts put them in one of those large envelope's and deduct as much as you can from your tax liabilty.
I new when I started this thread it would be a sore subject something that none of us want to deal with, in fact I didn't think anyone would even respond. It's not that bad for the 1099's for my band it took 10 minutes and $40.00 now when I do my personal taxes I am covered I hope
