Tax Relief for Music Creators: Expensing Sound Recording Costs

New rules allow music creators to deduct up to $150,000 annually in production costs as immediate expenses, rather than spreading them over time. This aims to support independent artists and small studios by enabling them to recover invested money faster and potentially improving their cash flow.
