What Can Bands Write Off?
Short answer: Bands as partnerships deduct instruments, gear vans, rehearsal space, recording, merch inventory, and tour costs (file Form 1065 if splitting income).
Self-employed workers deduct these on Schedule C, cutting income tax and the 15.3% self-employment tax; keep receipts and a mileage log.
Records to keep: Keep receipts, 1099s or W-2s, a mileage log, and a note of the business purpose for each expense.
