If you are an actor that only gets W-2 income, you would input your W-2 just like any other employee. Moreover, if all your work is as a W-2 employee, you cannot deduct expenses related to that income on your tax return. They are unreimbursed business expenses and there is not deduction for those expenses. You other business expenses you can deduct on a Schedule C, but none that are related to your W-2 income.
