Message-ID: <275@hropus.UUCP> Date: Thu, 13-Feb-86 17:02:08 EST Article-I.D.: hropus.275 Posted: Thu Feb 13 17:02:08 1986 Date-Received: Fri, 14-Feb-86 03:41:13 EST Distribution: na Organization: Bell Labs, Holmdel, NJ Lines: 16 I have a question for all you tax experts out there in net land. If a teacher buys materials for her class, can she deduct them as business expenses? If so, how detailed should the receipts be? By "materials" I refer to items she buys for the benefit of the classroom and her pupils. For example, if she furnishes an aquarium, or if she buys cookies for the class, etc. can she claim these as business expenses? Hope someone can help me with this one. Thanks, Miguel
