Good gravy, that's some serious cash. How many games did you work?

As in, the money earned from officiating? Of course. To do otherwise is illegal and unethical. If you mean deducting association dues, etc then yes, I do deduct those things.

I deduct local association dues, NASO dues, assigner's fees, uniform and equipment purchases, clinic fees, unreimbursed mileage, and tolls. I don't bother trying to deduct a portion of my internet, cell phone, laundry or meals.

This being my first basketball season, I worked around 25 games in 2009.
