180 - You've heard the old clich\\xe9 about death and taxes, right? They're the only two certain things in life.

\\xa0

And neither one is pleasant.

\\xa0

But Tiffany Bastian is, and she makes one of those certainties less painful. The taxes, of course.

On today's episode of the Hair of the Dog podcast, Tiffany gives us a pretty detailed overview of what you can use as a tax deduction for your pet photography business \\u2026 and what you can't.\\xa0

\\xa0

I just know there's so much inside this episode that you aren't claiming on your taxes yet. With tax season just around the corner, it's time to figure it out.

\\xa0

What to listen for:

5:08 The key to writing off your OWN photo shoots

12:36 Are dog treats a deductible expense?

27:16 How to calculate your home office deduction

38:00 Changing money due to Uncle Sam into a retirement contribution

50:00 Why hiring a tax adviser actually saves you money

\\xa0

Look, you can't just grab a drive-thru coffee on your way to a shoot and call it a write-off. Nor can you claim the gift of a canned ham.

Wait \\u2026 what? Yeah, that's what I said. Make sure you listen to find out what that's all about.
