I file as a schedule C.
I purchased a personal cruise that I paid gross of $10,000
I received a commission of $2,000 (Net cruise cost of $8,000)
I received 1099 for the $2,000 commission reporting as earnings
Since I paid $10,000 to receive it
can I deduct the amount I paid up to the $2,000 I received (essentially zeroing out the 1099)?
