Tax Return

[Welpe]

Thanks for chiming in, Rookie. This disagreement between professionals in the field is one reason why I am pretty conservative overall with my deductions and do not deduct anything for phone, internet use or meals that don't involve overnight trips for officiating and things like that. I don't even deduct laundry. I figure there's no point in drawing any extra attention to myself.

My accountant allows me $5.00 per week for laundry. I usually figure on twelve weeks, or $60.00. If they want to "send me up the river" for that, then so be it. As long as they don't put me in the same cell with Mark Padgett. I'm sure that cell would get pretty hot in the summer, with all that padding.
