    At what point does the IRS consider you goofing off?

    Be sure to keep good records and be able to justify expenses so they can be shown solely related to your business. If you are showing a small profit, it helps to show that it is a legitimate business. The IRS doesn't allow you to go forever deducting expenses and keep losing money.

    GUNS IN FILMS - PLZ HELP!

    In Ma., you can go to jail for a year for just possessing a gun if you are not licensed. You have to pass a gun safety course to get the license. In Arizona, guns are easily available. Every state and city is different. However, I would never use a working gun on a set.
