Bodybuilders tax write-offs

Varies

What Can Bodybuilders Write Off?

Short answer: Competitive bodybuilders who earn prize or sponsor income deduct competition fees, posing suits, and coaching; food and supplements generally aren't deductible.

Self-employed workers deduct these on Schedule C, cutting income tax and the 15.3% self-employment tax; keep receipts and a mileage log.

Records to keep: Keep receipts, 1099s or W-2s, a mileage log, and a note of the business purpose for each expense.
