Kudos ...

Let's subtract your assignment fee from your game fee to come up with some real numbers: $74.50 Varsity and $63.50 non varsity.

Your $145 for the year is equal to 2.3 subvarsity fees, or two...

Commuting ???

Now that I'm retired from my day job, I go from home to a game, and back home. I'm told that I can now deduct every single round trip mile as a business expense.

For those who may go to a game...

You should be able to fully deduct the miles (as I do) that you're not paid for. Either that, or both you and your tax guy can share a prison cell.

I'm actually going to prison in early January, I...

Pay No Attention To The Man Behind The Curtain ...

Because you said "$0.50 per mile round trip paid to one driver".

Figured only you, or your partner, got reimbursed, not both.

If your claiming the mileage reimbursement as income, then you may...

My error, you can probably deduct some of your mileage.

I'm not an accountant, nor do I play one television, but since you're financially reimbursed for half of your mileage, you can probably only...

My round trip mileage last year was 739 miles, or a cost to me (based on your half ride reimbursement) of about $180. Of course I can deduct my mileage, from my taxes, you can't, so let's call it...

All that as part of your $75 total financial obligation? The administrative costs to run your association must be only about $45? Your treasurer and finance committee deserve two tips of the hat.

Assuming $75 for basketball ($150/2 sports), your total financial obligation is equal to 1.5 subvarsity fees, or one varsity fee. That's about one third my total financial obligation and you seem to...

Actually it's $125.00 dues, $150.00 fees ($150 is my 7% assignment fee (full varsity schedule), average on my board is $130).

While it may still not be justified, the $275 includes the 7%...

Putting aside the assignment fee, our annual dues of $125 includes the fee to the state and IAABO International dues.
