Tax Write-offs
What can models claim as tax writeoffs during tax season? Mileage? Gas? Tolls? Hair? Nails? Makeup? Wardrobe? Limo service to the shoot LOL!

Jun 13 06 08:05 pm Link I've been writing off everything I legally can such as, gas,mileage,food,hotels,etc.,etc. My accountant has warned me to lay off claiming every single new camera purchases every year though! :-p Jun 13 06 08:10 pm Link You can practically write anything off if you have the receipt so prove it......don't know why you couldn't do the same with a new camera every year??......but I do know there are a couple ways of deducting mileage......I originally was going to deduct actual miles/gas price....but if I remember correctly I got more back using the IRS standard mileage deduction......you'll have to sit and figure it out both ways to find out in your particular case......I use one of those tax programs and go through it both ways......pick the best!
