I did get to deduct some things for "self promotion," but for some reason the blog was just considered a, yep, HOBBY! Honestly, I'm now wishing I had just gone to my normal cheap place in Chinatown. Ohh well I guess, live and learn!<br /><br />And based on the comments, it looks like I do have so hobbies after all: SLEEPING, DRINKING, EATING, EXERCISING...sweet ;)Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00425749875167877996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670679032484051596.post-56407569727953408692010-03-22T13:56:19.796-07:002010-03-22T13:56:19.796-07:00Agreed, Miss H&R Block has her panties in a bu...Agreed, Miss H&R Block has her panties in a bunch... your blog is not a hobby - it's a business venture/networking tool.<br /><br />That said, my hobbies including reading your blog... books, movies, working out (fitness it totally a hobby), playing soccer... and sleeping :)Corporate Chickeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07946175299722991320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670679032484051596.post-91716942534952093722010-03-22T13:02:55.994-07:002010-03-22T13:02:55.994-07:00Um, I hope Little Miss Power Trip at H&R Block...Um, I hope Little Miss Power Trip at H&R Block didn't prevent you from writing off expenses associated with your blog (like hosting on fnf.com). At the very least, it's an advertising expense for your freelance writing, because it's one of your biggest tools of self-promotion. And if you're investing money in your blog with the hope/intention of making money off of ad space in the coming year or two, then it's no different from any business that incurs startup costs before ever making a cent.
