writing off PTG convention registration fees

[Elwood Doss]

I'm with John!  According to the Convention flyer, the banquet ticket is
free with a paid registration fee.  That takes care of it as far as I'm
concerned...full price for convention fee, free banquet ticket.

Joy!

My accountant handles all that stuff for me, but I counted all my
convention expenses as deductible business expense. They have to go in
different categories, but that's what I pay the CPA for. Best $195 spent
every year!

Greeetings, 

 

          Can the registration fees be written off?  The instructions on
schedule C, line 24b say that only 50% of meals can be written off. If
the Convention registrartion fee includes a banquet meal...what to do?
I would guess just write the whole darn registration cost off, or is it
50% of the registration fee, because it includes a banquet meal that can
be taken?? ...Whart a parin in the a**. At this time of year it really
burns me up and is so easy to think of uncle sam as SUCH a freaking
FREE_LOADER, taking my hard earned money
