Sched C, line 24b of Federal Inome tax

I believe when it says, "but does not include professional organizations, etc", it is meant to say that 100% of those can be deducted. 



The entire trip to MARC, including your expenses to and from, hotel and meals, and registration, are 100% deductable on your schedule C. If there isn't a specific place for dues,?there should be a "other", or "miscellaneous" line somewhere.

Greetings,

?

??????? If I went to the MARC in April, can I deduct the whole price of the convention paid to PTG or 50% of it there??In the 1040 instruction book, first it states that you cant deduct fees of a club or association such as a golf or country club?reguardless?where professional friends socialising, then in the same paragraph, it states that "But this does not include...proffessional orgs, business leagues and trade associations. So is it 50% of the MARC fee to deduct or what???Also, what line on Schedule C do I deduct regular PTG national and local dues? These instructions are not specific.? 

?

Thank You,
