The life of a musician is generally hectic, scheduling gigs, writing music, teaching students, rehearsing, and everything in between are all time consuming. Add on top of that the difficulty of filing your own taxes as an independent entrepreneur, it can be to much for one person to handle. Therefore, the two best things an independant musician can do to keep the money they earn from dissolving into taxes is one hire an account that specializes in filing taxes for musicians, and two keep detaied and accurate records of your financial transactions.
Hiring an accountant that specializes in filing tax returns for musicians is paramount. These people know the rules of engagment including; what types of write offs, credits, and benefits are available to musicians. In addition, keeping detailed records will save you money form paying the accountant to organize your receipts. In gist knowing about filing your own taxes is great, but hiring an accountant is so much more efficient, saving you time and money, that you can use to practice and buy reeds...if you're me anyways.
