Tax Deductions..

[RainbowGroomer]

Hi there. I have only posted a couple times..but I have recently been pondering something..

I am not an independent contractor or shop owner..I work at a chain store..

Sorry for the wordiness..I was wondering what we can write off on our taxes..

Any insight will be very much appreciated.
Thanks.

are you payed 1099 or are taxrs taking?

Equipment, sharpening, work clothes, but I think you have to have enough total deductions to itemize your tax return instead of taking the standard deduction. I could be wrong tho. Maybe someone else knows for sure.

You can include any non-reimbursed work expenses. Anything you personal buy to use while grooming is deductible. If you travel to a seminar, the travel/meals are usually 1/2 deductible, while the cost of the seminar is 100%.

This is only if you itemize, however.

Thanks for your help. I have taxes taken out..so I guess I will just continue to keep my receipts and see how it all works out at the end of the year.
