I’m not having too much luck researching on the internet what tax deductions are used by makeup artists. Any tips or idea where I can find this information other than the obvious (tax preparer)? Thanks in advance :)
I am 1099. I am just interested in knowing the categories that are legit and available for deductions. Thanks!

    You’re not going to find a list anywhere by type of work. You file a schedule C and deduct any "reasonable and necessary" expenses related to your work. If you are going to be doing your own taxes then you should read some IRS Publications: #334 tax guide for small business; #535 business expenses; #583 starting a business and keep records. Also read the instructions for schedule c. These are all available at http://www.irs.gov Click forms and publications; then publication number; and a list will pop up. The instructions for the schedule c will be forms and publications; form and instruction number; look for 1040 schedule c instructions in the list
