I am a performing artist who made less than $16,000 as an actor in 2018. My wife is a university professor. Together our AGI exceeds what the limit is for a Qualified Performing Artist ($16,000). It's my understanding, then, that I cannot claim any expenses for a job I did out-of-town for 5 weeks, nor can I claim any expenses for all the traveling I did to look for acting work (auditions) for other theatre companies (ie. job search expenses in the same profession). Am I correct?
