You rented rehearsal space.

Here is one category in the Write-Off Organizer tab. The workbook’s filled example uses $1,200 of studio costs.

CategoryFind this existing row in the sheet.: Studio / rehearsal / filming-location rental
Amount recordedEnter your total for this category.: $1,200
Business %The share used for your work. This example is all business.: 100%
Amount for reviewFor this studio cost: amount × business %. Review eligibility and limits separately.: $1,200
Your notesAdd context and keep the matching receipts.: Studio rental for paid rehearsals; receipts saved.

You fill Amount recorded, Business % and Your notes. Leave the calculated cells to the sheet.

Business % means the work-related share. Enter it as a percentage, such as 100% in this example. A calculation in the sheet does not establish whether a cost qualifies as a tax deduction. Qualifying meals also get the usual 50% limit. Home-office rows record an allowed amount determined separately. This file supports standard mileage only; do not also add actual vehicle operating costs for the same use.
