I used turbotax. It might be interesting to buy tax cut and see if the results were different.
OMG - It's That Time of the Year!!!

Ya, it's only ten bucks. However, if you want them do figure your state form it costs about twenty bucks more. What have I got to lose, thought I, and went for it. $137 refund on the state form. There's a new Bessa and a lens right there.

Two and a half times grand, Steve.
I used to do my own with tax help books and computer software. I quit 5 years ago and now have a C.P.A. do it for me. It's less stressful and for that reason it's worth the $150 I pay for his services.

This is probably a good idea. Would an accountant insist I keep records, or would he just let me guess...like I do now? 😉
BTW R.J. I'm having fun with that Koni-Omega. Just tackling the filter problem now.

it will be shot on film
there is a way to write off all of your photo equipment and materials purchases. You call yourself an artist/(your profession here) on the forms and file a schedule C. However you will eventually have to show a bit of a profit.
btw-where's all the insults in here? i thought i was treading into the dark underground of RFF??
"screw that unkle sam and his historically unprecedented debt ceiling i say"!
cheers,

Hmmmm...not really all that liberating.
I did think of declaring a photo business. I've got a web presence and I'm setting up to sell. I wonder how long I can operate at a loss? :bang:

I used to do that, but unless you're making a LOT of money, it's more hassle than it's worth.
And Steven's right. Eventually you have to show a profit, something like within three years, or they knock on your door and beat you with truncheons.

In any case, it is certainly an audit flag...home based business.

Two years out of five. During the other three you have to show a profit, Steve.

A C.P.A. can tell you if it's reasonable or not. You have every right to start a business and write off the expenses related to that business. Just my 2¢ worth.
BTW, I'm getting ready to upload some pix showing how to remove the retaining ring in your 90mm so you can use 49mm filters instead of Series VI. 😀

So this is where it went - guess we need to get used to "interventionist" moderators relocating threads.
That said - you've all been reported to the folks who provide and protect the public fisc!
