Brian Watson--711210 is for "Spectator sports including professional sports clubs & racetrack operations."
Thanks Barry Morris for the words on Schedule C. Here is a questions which may apply to other people who are fully retired and only officiate sports.
"Since I am fully retired can I deduct mileage to and from my personal home without declaring my home (or a portion of it) as my place of business?"
In defense of your answer I put this question to a fellow basketball referee here in Las Vegas who also works for the IRS. He is one who would go to court and defend you against the IRS. He stated that it was "perfectly legal, despite the IRS saying that they would consider it commuting", which is not deductable.
Since I retired here in 1992 I have always used every mile I drive to games and meetings.
We do appreciate your offer of help.
