Treating band as a business - Any guides/books/sites?

Does anyone know of a good book/guide/site detailing how to do the accounting for a band (for year end tax purposes)?

Ideally, something talking about:

  • different ways to make the band a business
  • deductions
  • accounting for inventory/depreciation/revenue from gigs

EDIT: Also hoping to find out how to have this fit or work into my standard taxes at the end of the year supplementing my regular day job info.

Seems more of a legal than a financial mgmt guidebook. Looks pretty interesting though.

There's loads of sites giving essentially the same info even with the laziest of googling

I've seen sites like that, but I know this would be more complex.

I know how to 'make' it into a business, on paper. I'm looking more for the legal/financial details or steps specific to musicians that come after it's become a business.
