Your energy belongs in the studio, on stage, or wherever inspiration strikes—not buried in complex tax codes. That's why we're excited to share a series of significant new financial provisions designed specifically to support artists like you. These changes recognize the unique challenges and contributions of the creative community, offering powerful ways to keep more of your earnings and invest back into your art.

A Big One for Our Musician Friends (HITS Act) The HITS Act makes it more affordable to capture your sound. Musicians can now subtract up to $150,000 in production and studio costs from their reported income. • 3.

For Chasing Inspiration Down a New Road (Car Loan Interest) From 2025-2028, if you have a loan on a car made in the US, you can subtract up to $10,000 a year in interest payments from the income the government can tax (and you don’t even have to use the car for business!). • 6. Planting a Dream for the Next Generation ("Baby Bonus") For children born between 2025 and 2028, the government is offering a $1,000 "baby bonus" to start a sheltered savings account for their future. • 7.
