Message: [QUOTE="arahel_jazz, post: 1942676, member: 19189"] I believe the "standard" here is the same for any self-employment gig. Keeping a set of books on income and expenses, keeping a running log of activities and travel needed to support the employment. There would be no "uniforms" per se to own or maintain. If a coach was a normal part of doing business (say you are a gymnast...) then I can believe it would be deductible. So, (a long time ago) when I was looking at music as a career - it was basically the same thing. Record keeping and proving that you are doing it for a living instead of an expensive hobby. It helps if you actually get paid to do it now and then. Consult a tax attorney. Oh wait - we are! :) [/QUOTE]
