Theresa P | I am a model. I want pictures to help get jobs. Can I purchase a camera and write it off on taxes? |
|

No since you're not a photographer. When in doubt, consult and accountant or IRS directly. |
|

Not likely. Models don't take their own pictures, they have professional photographers do that for them. The cost of those photos is a legitimate tax deduction -- and probably a lot more than any camera would be |

Get it done professionally. This may be your career ambition and you have to do it right because modeling is a cut throat business and you have to take every advantage you possibly can, and then you can write of some of your expenses. I would talk to a tax consultant about any write offs or better yet get your own tax professional like I did. |

If I was an IRS auditor and I came across a deduction for a camera on a tax return of a model what would I think?
Probably something like: "This person is a model, her work involves being on the other end of the camera rather than taking the actual pictures. So what is the BUSINESS PURPOSE for this person purchasing a camera? NONE - DEDUCTION DENIED!"
Bottom line you could put it on your tax return as an expense of doing business (most likely you'd take a depreciation or S. 179 deduction), and the chances are you'd never get audited. But if you did get audited, as a model, you'd find it hard to convince an IRS auditor that you had a legitimate business purpose for buying a camera. |

Is this an Australian question?
If so, depends.
How much is the camera? I understand that this is a business related asset....
Are you considered running a small business modelling? and not just a hobby?
Generally being a business related asset it will need to be depreciated over a few years. But small businesses with income less than $2M can choose to write off depreciating assets < $1000 right away. |

only if you actually get a modeling job, then you can claim it as a business expense. |

You have to own a business to write things off on taxes as business expenses. Simply pursuing a dream is not sufficient enough for the IRS. Anyone that advises you otherwise is setting you up for the big ok-ee-doke |

If you actually get any income. Keep the pictures of youself on a cd in case you get audited. Don't have any non modeling pictures on it if you get audited. |
