Writers and Taxes

For American Writers Only

Did you know that you don't have to make a profit to write off your

writing expenses?  You don't even have to be published or

contracted to publish.  

All you have to do is prove that you are a working writer.  This

can be as simple as having copies of your rejection letters.  

I'm not an accountant or tax attorney so here are some experts to give

you even more information on writers and taxes.
