Aaron Marcus thank you for sharing these incredibly useful tips. It’s so important for actors to be financially savvy and take advantage of every opportunity to save—especially in an industry where most people face inconsistent and often below-average income. Solid tax advice like this can make a real difference.

For me, the confusing part of taxes was earning money in another state then the one in which I reside permanently. Having to file in those other states plur my home state, and not get double taxed.

It can be confusing. I had to file for NY, PA, OH and a few other states. The nice thing is that I get money back, since taxes were taken out when I worked there. It can be confusing. Thanks for sharing.
