You an actor?

If you're an actor, even part of the time, or even if one time like 5 years ago you starred as an extra in an episode of gossip girl, you should be able to write this stuff off:
  • Every article of clothing you own/have owned (industry supplies)
  • The Sopranos DVDs that you bought when you were depressed that one time (industry research)
  • That plane ticket you bought to Seattle for a college reunion, except the destination is conveniently scratched off on the receipt... because you actually went to L.A. to meet with some executives. (Travel)
  • That dinner you paid for when you were trying to impress that girl who was really attractive and you wanted to build up your self confidence for when you got onto the stage in the next ten years. (Meals and Entertainment, 50% deduction)
  • The rogaine you bought that wasn't covered by your HMO since it considers it a VANITY drug but you know that it's not because no industry execs hire baldies like you (Supplies/Medical on your Form A)
  • All of the beer you bought on trips to bars. But make sure you reorganize your receipts so that all this beer buying actually looked like it was singing lessons. (continued education)
No WAY will the government be able to beat you.
