Things I have definitely claimed:
  • Mileage Can't claim both mileage and auto expenses.
  • Officials Gear (shirts, pants, shoes)
  • Tailoring (hemming, patches, etc.)
  • Officiating camp registration
  • Dues/Assessments/Fines
[*]Food Only if more than 60 miles I think(actual receipts or credit card statements from before games)[*]Drinks Not deductible(Gatorade & others prior to games)[/LIST]

What do you think of these? I know many of these are used for other things that basketball officiating, so that's why I'm asking
  • Auto repairs in season See mileage above(brakes, new tires, oil changes)
  • Medical Not deductible(cold/flu over the counter, prescriptions, doctor's appts, etc.)
  • Cell phone Yes...prorated(pro-rated?)
  • Bluetooth for handsfree driving Possible(required in NJ)
  • Internet bill Only if exclusive for business
  • Home printer Only if exclusive for business
  • Laundry ( I know that's been questioned for $5 a week)

Oh..and good news...got my first sectional games for state playoffs, and doing a regional semi-final for Junior College. Waiting to hear about the NCAA's for Division III.
