What do you think I need as proof to satisfy the IRS? Just a hand written Bill of Sale?

Am I correct in assuming you are doing this to substantiate a tax write off? If so, you may want to include the items serial number on the bill of sale.

Yup, get a receipt, dated and signed by seller with serial number.....hate to be accused of theft.

There are so many new regs I would advise any musician just to get a tax pro.

I have had the same guy for almost 20 years.

He caught more than a few mistakes made by the feds which saved me literally thousands.

Strongly advise to go quarterly and use estimated income.

 

Give them a nice chunk on April 15th or earlier, as they like you more, then usually get a little back or just zero it out.

I've just had to delete a bunch of posts and give a forum member a 30 day vacation for taking this thread in a political direction. :(

 

This is a relevant topic, so I'm leaving it up for now....but if it heads that way again, I'll delete the whole thread.
