Performing Artist Tax Parity Act of 2025

What this bill does

This bill removes the income cap for performing artists' tax deductions and raises the minimum earnings threshold from $200 to $500 per employer.
Performing artists who work for multiple employers and have significant work-related expenses are affected by these tax deduction changes.
The bill phases out deductions for high earners starting at $100,000 gross income, fully eliminating them at $120,000 ($200,000-$240,000 for joint filers).

How would removing the income cap for performing artists' deductions affect musicians and dancers who earn above $120,000 annually compared to other self-employed professionals?
02
What evidence supports that raising the $200 to $500 minimum earnings threshold per employer will meaningfully help performing artists manage work-related expenses?
03
Why does this bill phase out deductions starting at $100,000 income rather than applying the same rules to all performing artists regardless of earnings level?
