So for some of us who play gigs at places and make very little $ while investing a lot into gigging. How did you fair? Do you even file? What things do you claim?
I mean obviously whatever income you get, equipment, entertainment, transport, office space?
I can tell you my year was lame, mostly cause I took my Djing up from bedroom to full on club dj. I was for a while just djing at clubs for fun in Rochester, and doing bedroom djing with an s4. This year I decided to invest fully in equipment and such and it looks like my total investment was around 7000k with a new macbook pro, cdjs, krks, coffin, going to clubs to buy drinks and talk to owners and such, it really adds up when you look at it.
My total earnings...lol around 500 bucks total. And that with 6 months of giging regularly at house parties, clubs, and bars, much I had to give away since I was new to Chicago and now $ is finally coming in. most nights were only 40-50 bucks just cause as an unknown you don't get huge followings. But i have finally found a few places that I can really make $ at.
Thank god I have a real job.
