    i was told by my accountant that every expense EVERY EXPENSE on the road is deductible (even food if you spend more than $59 a day)

    he knows more about this than me

    It really depends to be honest. I use to write a lot of things off on my taxes till I realised the more I wrote off = the less it looked like I "actually" made in writing = the more difficult it "can" be to acquire a loan. So you can take this advice or leave it. But if it was me, I would only write off a percentage of the overall cost. Only because there is no real yes or no answer to this question. But the more documentation you have to prove that you "have" to do X on a regular basis the easier it would be to clear your case if was audited. Additionally by not claiming all of them as a tax deduction. Also allows for some error room. Being audited because of $500 in shaving supplies and then being able to provide reciepts for $1k worth of shaving supplies works heavily in your favor. The only items I were exact on were expenses that were daily or major expenses. eg: Fuel, work boots, work gloves, X number of work pants and work shirt, maintance kind of things.

    I know I went a little over board on explaining. But you definately have to CYA on things of this nature and my example provides that ;)
