I've asked my tax pro about those along with estimated payments and she has told me not to worry about them. Your mileage may vary.

I agree with most every deduction on there but the following two: "Meals between games of doubleheaders" and "Meals between work and evening game". Does anyone agree or disagree with these two deductions?

Did anyone see this one??? "Incontinence Supplies" :D

Or how about this one??? "Impairment Related Expenses" :D

I did notice that too but thought I better not get "certain people" started on it lol I have always heard it's a no-no to include meals from work to games or meals between games. Just curious

I thought those write-offs were only for deranged astronauts?

You made $8k and after expenses made only $487?

Mileage, mileage, mileage.

Yep, mileage will do it every time.

What else besides mileage...I racked up plenty. Uniform purchase, dues/registration fees, laundry allowances...that was what I had in 2008...what am I missing? :confused:

Mileage is always my biggest write-off. My 2nd biggest this past year was the camp I attended in Orlando: camp fee, plane ticket, motel, rental car.

Same here with me as well, camp and clinics as well as supplies (Whistles, Uniforms, shoes). I have not tried to deduct my cell phone bill yet.

I've done that. A percentage of my bill in the months I actually officiate. As well as my internet bill (COX cable).

Call me at work.

I just can't see including meals between work and the game. I don't think the code allows that but maybe I'm mistaken.

I always think it's a successful year if I end up in positive territory.
