Visiting Out of State, and Doing a Show!

In summary, when doing a show out of state, it is recommended to bring a variety of kitchen tools such as a chef's knife, cutting board, mixing bowls, measuring cups and spoons, and a stoneware baking dish. It is also important to pack extra items like a vegetable peeler, can opener, and citrus juicer. To transport Pampered Chef products, use a sturdy bag or container with padding and label fragile items. Bring your own ingredients for recipes and make the show more personal by incorporating local flavors and engaging with guests.

I have a question about doing a kitchen show out of the state. If I do a demo for my mom when I go to visit her in South Dakota, what can I deduct as far as taxes? Gas? Hotel on the way there? Just wondering if I could do that. Also, I am driving to Chicago and we CAN deduct all expenses for our trip to conference right???? I am actually going straight from Chicago to my moms in South Dakota!:D
 
Yes, Kelly the trip to your mother's is a tax write-off. We cannot claim gas, but you need to keep a log of your miles. Keep all meal receipts and hotel receipts. Then speak to a tax person. As far as the meals go there is some stipulation on how much can be written off. Just be sure to carefully document all the money you spend.
