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.
