John: I guess it depends on several things. You can earn more money doing tunings than spending your time traveling to/from court, and the actual court time. However, if you don't have any tunings to do, and the alternative would be watching soaps, small claims court would probably pay better than the soaps. The deduct ability of the amount in question depends on how you do your accounting -- accrual or cash. Ask your tax advisor. Most tax advice from this list or other friends won't carry much weight with IRS. dave *********** REPLY SEPARATOR *********** On 7/19/2002 at 7:02 AM John M.
