I need ideas for dual usage tax write offs
 

I need to find a minimum of $50,000 this year in write offs. Anyone have some ideas on dual usage items (home/business) that I can get and put down.

i'dlike to know too...

for this up coming tax year ?

well you could allways open a new studio and satart up a new business or you could always donate to a fake charity

:thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup or give me money with my studio<<< :pimp :pimp :pimp :Oh crap :Oh crap :Oh crap :helpme :helpme

Joking of course

Invest $50k w/ my business.

Or you could buy a nice new car and use it as a promo tool (like the red bull cars, etc).

I have already bought a shitload of electronics that also work in the rest of the house.

Any other ideas?

Do you think I could get a poker table and then drop a board on it and scatter some papers around and make it look like the table just belongs so damn well in the office?
