I have 2 different direct sales business - one is an online boutique that sells clothing and accessories and the other is cosmetics & skincare company. I'm wondering how to best maximize my deductions.
For example:
1) If I talk to my hairdresser about my businesses while getting my hair done can I write off the cost of getting my hair done? If so, what category would this deduction fall into?
2) If I wear the clothing that I sell and say a waitress compliments me on it and we strike up a conversation about my business, am I able to write off that expense?
3) If I drop off catalogs for my company at my chiropractor's office and then get an adjustment while there, can I write off the cost of that adjustment? What category would this deduction fall into?
4) If I buy a ticket to a theme park and then hand out my business cards and talk to other people there about my business, is the cost of the entry ticket a write off? What category would this deduction fall into?
Thank you!
