Artists - Special rules

If you meet certain requirements to be identified as a "Performing Artist" you can deduct all of your car expenses as a adjustment to income directly on Form 1040 instead as a itemized deduction on Schedule A. There is a 5 step requirement test that must be answered before a person is identified as a Performing artist.
