The list of tax deductions for writers and bloggers grows longer…
- Taxes and licenses including sales tax paid to your state from book sales and a business or vendor’s license.
- Travel and meals when you are away from your tax home overnight for business purposes such as attending a conference. Deduct the mileage or car rental costs, lodging and one-half of the meals spent while on a business trip. If you take your spouse or family, only the portion for you, the business owner, is deductible.In 2018 entertainment expenses are no longer tax deductible.
- Utilities such as telephone, cell phone, and internet service charges. The first phone line into a home is considered a personal expense and not deductible as a business expense. Separate your personal and business use of your cell phone and the internet. Only the business portion is a tax deduction.
