I was told that after a certain length of time if you didn't show a profit (which I never have) your writing is considered a hobby and you can't deduct expenses. I pay state taxes on what I sell myself, otherwise I don't do anything. It was a lot of work keeping track. Which reminds me I must see how much state taxes I owe. They've sent me the form already. Thanks for the reminder.Beverly Stowe McClurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02176195451841801819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133489888936435050.post-2887889500441396942015-12-01T14:42:32.978-05:002015-12-01T14:42:32.978-05:00Great tips.

Over here in the UK he doesn't have to worry about filling in tax forms of any description because it's the employers responsibility. However, if he actually wrote, your list would be of some help, even in the UK.<br /><br />I'm rambling, which means, time to get the heck outta' here....<br /><br />Pawsitive wishes and doggy kisses,<br /><br />Penny xxklahaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613505424843475639noreply@blogger.com
