实际适用的测试

A business expense has to be ordinary (normal for your line of work) and necessary (helpful and appropriate for it). That's a broad standard, and most of what creators spend money on clears it comfortably. The problems come from three specific places.

创造者被抓住的地方

• 服装 The rule isn't "did I wear it for work" — it's whether the item is unsuitable for everyday wear. 服装和明显的射击片子是可以辩护的。你穿的裙子也不穿,尽管你买来是拍的,但诚实地说。
• 扫帚 通常被质疑为个人,因为对大多数人来说,这是个人。 最强大的是被具体拍摄和显然超出正常保养范围。
• 混合用途物品。 手机,互联网,公寓, 要求诚实的商业份额, 而不是全部。 100%的电话 要求是任何人都最容易质疑的。

怀念那些怀念的人

低价通常比高价还差。 机构佣金、聊天和编辑付款、收账服务、这种软件、会计费、商业保险、射程、你几年前买的仍在使用的设备折旧——所有可扣除的,都被遗忘了。

保持文件工作

扣除你无法证明的就是如果有人问起,你会损失的扣减。收据、日期、数额和一线商业目的说明。“Amazon 340”是一个问题;“3月14日拍摄的奖赏”不是问题。
