Legal Question in Tax Law in California
Transportation write off?
I am a self employed nurse massage therapist. I maintain an in-home office and an office outside my home; driving daily as needed to the outside office to provide the therapy on clients.
Two years ago I had developed vision difficulties resulting in having to take the driving test every 2 years to renew my driver�s license. If I am denied a renewal of my license this February because I don�t meet the DMV�s Visual Acuity Screening Standard, of course I will not be able to drive to work. Driving to work includes bringing back and forth linens and supplies for up to 10 people each day, this fills the back seat of my car. Taking a bus would not be an option. Since I would be forced to be driven by someone else to maintain my business would the money spent to pay a taxi service or a private driver be a write off in any way on my Federal and/or State taxes?

Re: Transportation write off?
Most likely a write off on either occassion. You should get a doctor's note to protect you in case the IRS comes calling. However, this is really a better question for a CPA then an attorney, and I would recommend retaining one.
