Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

I've committed Excel. I hate Excel -- the only way I know how to use it is by using templates, but my Virgoness loves tables and graphs, etc.

So I got it down for my business expense tracking for 2011, and I'm pretty happy with it. Except if I have to add a 6th expense category down the line! MAYHEM AND FEAR!

But I will just be happy with it. My quarterly taxes will be done tonight and postmarked tomorrow!

Can I have a new SB owner HELL YEAH!?

Some places it's a standard operating expense.

It goes under "business meals and entertainment" on Schedule C and you can only deduct half your costs.

Does anyone know if can I deduct my expenses for this interview (parking, out of town meals) on my taxes as job search expenses?

Parking and meals, no, and you can only deduct job-search expenses if you are looking for the same job in the same field, and if it comes to 2%+ of your AGI.

And thank you, you just gave me an idea for a blog post for my biz.
