Question about taxes:“So I’ve been acting full time for the last few months and I just learned that since I’m self employed, I am able to make business deductions on my taxes. I really want to be able to get a good camera so I can record auditions from home and maybe start filming my own stuff, but some of the stuff I looked up says I can’t claim technology as a business expense, though I’m not sure if there are any exceptions. Any veterans here who could give me some insight?” —MGCMN
Column ideas for 2018?“Hey, everyone. Let me know if you have any subjects you’d like covered in my column during 2018. I’d love to hear from all of you.
