My wife is a Massage Therapist (sole proprietor/1099)
1)She needs a monthly adjustment from a chiropractor in order to do quality work. This seems ordinary and necessary to me, can I deduct on schedule C?
2)I want to optimize our deductions in future years. Based on the TurboTax questions it appears that although she is an independent contractor, she does work at one spa. This appears to be "commuting" for car expenses and thus not deductible. First is this accurate? I am thinking of converting an external space to allow her to see some clients at home and get the home office deduction in the future. If this was now her "primary" business place and also worked at the spa could we then deduct mileage?
