Race car drivers tax write-offs

Varies

What Can Race car drivers Write Off?

Short answer: Pro drivers deduct entry fees, car prep, travel, safety gear, and crew; racing without a profit motive is a hobby.

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.
