If I become a romace novelist can I get tax write-offs for prostitutes?

Answer 1

Are you high? If it works out for you let me know so that i can tell others to do the same.

Answer 2

The "research" would have to have some relevance to the book subject and prostitutes are not in the ROMANCE business so even if the activity was in rural parts of Nevada you would not be able to take a write off.

Answer 3

If you can substantiate a link between romance and prostitutes AND if you confine your research to where prostituton is LEGAL then you MIGHT have a case to be made.

I always did like writing off trips to Annabella Haus (a famous LEGAL bordello) in Kaiserslautern Germany as "entertainment" expense for some German business partners. (Good thing that the SOL on that has long expired!)

Answer 4

Chances are, probably not. Even if you were to engage in such activities in a location where it was legal and could argue it an ordinary and necessary business expense (which probably isn't more likely than not), it might fall under 'entertainment' expenses rather than research and a portion be disallowed.

Answer 5

LOL
No if you tried you could get arrested for tax evasion and
soliciting a prostitute. Besides do you think she/he is going to give you a receipt?

Answer 6

you definitely can not get tax write-offs but you can certainly get a sexually transmitted disease!!!! and if you equate romance with prostitution you probably aren't in the right field in trying to write a romance novel.

Answer 7

would be offest by the medical expenses you WILL incur

Answer 8

that would be so cool
