First--sorry if this post is a bit confusing. So I just started dancing this year and I know that filing isn't for another year, but i was wondering what I can write off and how I can find an accountant familiar with filing for dancers?
For anyone that lives in the Bay Area, would they like to recommend an accountant? I've read on different posts that some people file four times a year....do I need to do that? Also, how much money do you set aside from your earnings each night for taxes (i.e. 20%)?
My manager at the club told me to save my receipts because I should be able to write off:
-makeup
-manicures
-pedicures
-waxing
-dance classes/seminars
-shoes
-outfits
-gas
However, I don't travel for work, so I don't see how I can write off gas. For those of you that have filed before, what have you successfully been able to write off?
Any advice would be great. Thank you!

No, it doesn't matter what form you make the payment. I do suggest you mail it with delivery confirmation so you know it didn't get lost in the mail. You can also efile and pay online.
