I prefer "crack and hookers" myself.

There's a karaoke band around here that's named "Hookers and Blow"

Depends on your tax situation.

My real answer is that TurboTax decides for me. Looking at my return from this past year, it used C-EZ. It used C in previous years.

The one factor that will make this decision for most officials is that C-EZ is limited to $5000 of deductible expenses. According to my C-EZ, I had exactly that. That wasn't intentional, BTW -- I entered all my expenses separately and apparently that's where it ended up. I bought less in terms of baseball gear and uniforms than I normally do in 2010.

Those who work one sport probably will have trouble exceeding $5000, so (and I am not a tax professional) C-EZ seems to be designed for people like us.

Yes, C-EZ is most appropriate
How many of you also file for self-employment tax? As independent contractors, we're supposed to do that as well.

I would guess that if you fill out Schedule C and don't also complete SE, that it would be a big red-flag to the IRS.

All transparent to me. TurboTax does it all.

That said, if you have earnings (adjusted for expenses) of less than $400, you're exempt from self-employment taxes. This is one place where those 200 mile round trips to BFE come in handy and the trips to Florida and to Europe to umpire don't hurt, either.

Just curious: how much do you normally buy in 2010?
