What sorts of things do you guys claim on your taxes? I know there's the more obvious things like hotels and supplies, but are there other things that maybe wouldn't be so obvious? For example, I had to buy a stronger anti-virus program for my laptop, because the one I had was fine for the usual stuff but it wasn't holding up on adult sites used for advertising and review boards. And, can you claim things like valet parking at hotels, wine that you've bought for your incall, lingerie, hair cuts, even business-casual type clothes that you've bought to wear to outcalls? I think a lot of the less obvious things might fall under the "housewife" test, and then you can claim half of them?
Doing my 2011 taxes for dancing has been a nightmare because I forgot to write down half of the things I should have, so I'm being obsessive about keeping a record of everything I spend for business-expenses. I suppose whoever does my taxes next year will have the final say on what I can claim, but I'm not sure what all I should be keeping track of in the meantime.
