Republicans’ tax attack on actors
NY Daily News: You can call me a multitasker; I’m a working actress, an accountant and also a tax attorney. My resume may sound a little unusual, but when April 15 hits, I will fit in with tens of millions of working Americans who have been hurt by sweeping changes in the tax code.

I know this article is supposed to be about the horrible tax rise for people working in creative fields through this article taught me about “’ ordinary and necessary unreimbursed employee business expenses’”. I think it is interesting how work expenses for actors auditioning could have deducted off taxes as work expenses. This shows the government had some respect for working actors because the government recognized that actors don’t get paid for auditioning and it is a large necessary cost for the actor. It is sad that now the government is showing no regard for working actors and the middle class. This article has a huge shock factor when the author lists that a couple had a 269% tax increase that is ridiculous beyond ridiculous. This article did a great job of making the effects of the Trump-tax bill crystal clear. I wonder if this tax bill will effect Equity pay standards or if the theatre community organizations will help out people in the theatre industry to make ends meet as taxes take more money out of theatre practitioners’ paychecks.
