A deduction checklist, per-diem calculator, and quarterly-tax estimator built for the freelance performer's income. 1099s, multi-state gigs, and self-employment tax — organized, estimated, and demystified before the deadline.
Maestro from $16.67/mo · 14-day free trial
The write-offs performers actually take — coaching, scores, travel, wardrobe, headshots — as a checklist so nothing legitimate slips through.
Estimate what to set aside each quarter on 1099 income, so April isn't an ambush and you're not underpaying.
Work out per-diem and travel-day math for touring and out-of-town contracts without a spreadsheet.
Designed around self-employment tax and freelance realities — not a W-2 calculator with the labels changed.
Keep track of where you earned so multi-state filing isn't a shoebox of stubs at year end.
Explanations a performer can act on — not tax code, and not advice you need a CPA to decode first.
Illustrative layout only. The tool calculates from the figures you enter — nothing here is a real return or real advice. Confirm anything material with a qualified tax professional.
Tax & Financial Tools are a Maestrofeature. They organize and estimate — they are not tax advice, and don't replace a qualified professional for filing.
