Re: More boring tax questions

My GF's grandma says I can deduct living expenses such as food/rent/cable internet/computers/clothes. Is this true? I also support two adults, does this mean anything?

Absolutely! It means unless Grandma is a CPA, you should spend a couple of hundred on a tax professional, and save Thousands!

Here are some hints, but again, GET A CPA!
food: deductible if it is some special food you have to eat in order to be able to play poker, or in other words, NO.
rent: deductible if it is some special place that you use to only play poker in, or in other words, NOT THE APARTMENT YOU ARE LIVING IN.
cable internet: You can deduct a portion of this, but cannot deduct the time you spend surfing internet porn.
computers: You can deduct a portion of this, but cannot deduct the portion of the computer used to store all the internet porn.
clothes: You can only deduct the special "I only wear it to play poker and can't play in anything else and never wear it any other time" clothes.
Did I remember to tell you to get a CPA?
