[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Tax RightOff

Hello, I'm new to the board. I have a question that I'm sure someone here might be famliar with. Are civilian weapon purchases a tax right-off if your active duty military.

The argument here being I use my personally owned rifles for additional training and proficiency.

I think there would be a lot of ground for this argument, but I'm interested in knowing if anyone else knows about this. Thanks a lot.

Are you Inc'd?, LLC? Going to itemize your return...etc...

So, I would say NO.

Generally, the only items that someone can write off as a business expense tax deduction are those items used strictly for business. If you use them as little as 1% of the time for personal use, then they are not deductable, period.

I wrote one off as a tool as I spend a lot of time in the "ghetto". Heard nothing of it, but I'm plenty ready to argue it if need be. For the most part though, the right off is not worth the trouble.

I wrote off the price of a new rifle for "Predator control" on my taxes as farm use... fullclip

I dunno about guns, but I work on cars for a living, so I write off all my tools as a business expense.

surprisingly, yes, the IRS has ruled that the cost of ammunition is a deductible expense for hitmen. (no shit) anybody got a link? I'm too drunk to google right now.
