✦ Plain-Language Summary
This resolution urges Congress and the President to pass the Performing Artist Tax Parity Act of 2025, a federal bill that would make it easier for working artists to deduct job-related expenses from their taxes. Currently, many performers — like musicians, actors, and dancers — struggle with high out-of-pocket costs for their craft but can't fully write them off. Passing this law would put more money back in the pockets of everyday NYC artists who rely on performing for their income.
