[rodgersorgan] Re: Tax Question for Professional Organist


I've heard that you can depreciate it but there are certain conditions ....
it needs to be in a separate room / office - e.g. a rehearsal room.  It
needs to be solely job related - in other words you can't have it in a den
or living room where it could also be used for personal enjoyment or
entertainment.  Your accountant could advise you but it's also a
consideration of whether the write-off is worth it.  It's the old story ....
you need to make a profit in order to take a loss.

Subject: [rodgersorgan] Tax Question for Professional Organist



A local organ dealer tried to convince me that I could write off the
cost of a new organ on my taxes as a business expense.  I have a
question into my accountant but he is gone for several weeks on
vacation.

Do any of you write off your Organ purchase in this way on your taxes?
