SAG-AFTRA dues
$200-$2,000/yr
Can You Write Off SAG-AFTRA Dues?
Short answer: Deductible against self-employment income; union dues tied only to W-2 acting jobs aren't federally deductible.
Qualified performing artists with low AGI can deduct them above the line.
Records to keep: Keep receipts, 1099s or W-2s, a mileage log, and a note of the business purpose. W-2 employees should ask about employer reimbursement.
