“As an adult entertainer, you incur expenses that are unique to your profession. Whether you perform at a club, on a webcam, or create content for sites like OnlyFans, these expenses can add up quickly.

The good news is that the IRS allows you to deduct all ordinary and necessary business expenses from your self-employed income. By tracking these expenses, you can reduce your tax bill and keep more of your hard-earned money.

Not sure what you can write off? We’ve compiled a detailed list of Schedule C (Form 1040) deductions that all adult entertainers should track to reduce their tax bills. Bank fees
It doesn't matter if it's the monthly service fee, ATM withdrawal fee, or credit card renewal fee. If you're paying a fee to the bank to operate your business, you can write it off.

Business insurance
You can write off all commercial insurance premiums that protect your business from claims (e.g. business liability insurance) plus any insurance for building and equipment used for your business.

Commissions and affiliate fees
You can deduct all commissions paid to non-employees for sales and marketing purposes. This includes payments to affiliate partners and platforms like Gumroad.
