What Can Cosplayers Write Off?
Short answer: Paid cosplayers can deduct costume materials, wigs, props, and con travel if they earn from appearances or prints; hobby cosplay isn't deductible.
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.
