Get your taxes done using TurboTax

The small W-2 for acting will be treated differently than your other acting income.  

The W-2 is considered wages by the IRS. The W-2 for wages and the W-2 for your day job are treated the same way.  

The other acting income will be considered self-employment by the IRS.  You will be able to deduct expenses against the self-employment income.

However, you cannot include your acting W-2 income as self-employment income.
