I use a CPA. I do deduct for a home office. I work three sports and the office contains only uniforms, supplies, literature, DVDs, and files that pertain only to adjudicating those sports.
Still, with an annual officiating income of around $13,500, and utilizing all legal dedcutions, I pay some taxes on that income.
