I have heard that if a guy is an outdoor writer, part time, that he can write off his hunting trips and gear expenses as part of a business. Tell me it isn't so because my fingers are ready to blur out some words on dis here keyboard.

You don't have to sell a article or picture. A rejection letter from the company works just as well.

This is something I would consider. Be careful if you need a loan anytime soon though. You can either file taxes to not pay taxes or you can file taxes to borrow money- not both. I'm a loan officer and see it a bunch.

People think that cheating the tax code is easy only because they haven't been audited. Lots of misinformation out there. Act wisely. There are no statutes of limitation on fraud.

I work with a reputable account (25+ years experience) and have been able to write off much of my expenses, but my bases are covered on multiple fronts: bought and published author, outfitter, and scouting business.

As belly-deep implies, the rubber hits the road when you get audited and we've never been. I sleep well, but you never know when it comes to the govenment.

Check with an accountant in your area.
