    How would removing the $16,000 income cap affect performing artists at different earning levels, and who might benefit most from this change?

  2. 02

    What types of work-related expenses do performing artists currently struggle to deduct, and would the new phase-out structure between $100,000-$120,000 address those gaps?

  3. 03

    How does this deduction compare to tax benefits available to other self-employed professionals, and what evidence supports treating performing artists differently?
