What tax deductions could be claimed for a professional brewer at a brewpub?

I am interested in knowing what items could be written off on the taxes of a professional brewer and/or part owner of a brewpub: travel to other brewpubs, sampling beer at other brewpubs, sampling food at other brewpubs, travel to beer festivals, admission to festivals, purchasing of unique beers for sampling, travel to internation beer festivals, visiting unique bars, brewing conferences, purchasing beer books or magazines, local homebrew club dues, travel to club meetings, homebrewing equipment and supplies for advancing skills and making test batches?

The reasonable and necessary expenses involved in the operation of the pub. (You can expense these items, though they are not "tax deductions" in the traditional sense; those go on Schedule A and since you operate a business none of the business expenses would go there.)

The costs of "checking out" the competition may be reasonable in a highly competative business; just make sure that they duck quacks a "business quack" and not a "party quack" or "vacation quack."

Beer festivals: As a participant or as a judge, good chance there, but not just as an attendee.

Professional conferences: Good shot there. Just keep excrutiatingly accurate records.

Professional publications: Yes, no sweat with those.

Homebrew club dues: Nope, that's personal.

Equipment for test and development: That's probably reasonable.

It sounds good. Really good. With our business Phone System you get a professional-sounding phone service with a live-recorded main greeting, many options for routing calls, and extensions for employees, departments, and product information.

It's a complete solution. The Virtual Office from VoiceMailTel is the most complete business phone service available. You get a toll-free number, unlimited incoming calls on local numbers, multiple extensions (each with call forwarding and voicemail), and mailboxes that you can use to store voice messages as audio attachments.

NOT SURE HOW IT WORKS?
VoiceMailTel provides you with a Toll-Free or Local Number that goes directly into our VoiceMailTel server. Or, you can also transfer your current numbers to us. Most importantly, you won't need to worry about system hardware any more.

VoiceMailTel sends your incoming calls through traditional phone lines to existing phones, and through the internet to your computer, PDA, or VoIP phone. You can make your outgoing calls through any computer or any phone in the world.

Receive incoming faxes directly in your e-mail inbox, so you can read them anywhere you have an internet connection. You can send faxes from any computer through your VoiceMailTel account.

Our service provides your business Custom Greetings, Auto Attendant, Multiple Extensions, Toll Free 800 Number, Local Numbers and many other facilities, in a way your company image will be improved and you will feel no longer that complex of being a small company. Our services are best applied in case of business meetings and/or company presentation, offering our customers a full-functional Virtual Office.

A big business image at a small business price

For small businesses, to buy an expensive PBX (private branch exchange) system to juggle extensions, conference calls, and voicemail is not the best option. The best solution is a Virtual PBX or Virtual Phone Service, which doesn't require new hardware and is managed via the Internet. Your company gets a main number from VoiceMailTel and then route all calls through it to internet phones or other lines, be it a mobile phone or a home-office phone abroad (all documentation and assistance will be supplied by us). You can also avoid long-distance charges by routing calls via VoIP by using a Toll Free 800 Number or/and a Local Number with your account and your company will have a much better and effective image, like the one of a big, established business.

Stay accessible anytime and anywhere

Using Virtual Phone Service you can route all calls to mobile phones, home phones or internet phones. You can be reachable anytime and anywhere. Even if your mobile phone is not reachable or has no signal coverage, or you don't have the immediate opportunity to use your internet phone, your callers will be handled by the service and routed to the voicemail. You can later review your calls by accessing the Call History Report and call your callers back.

Forward incoming calls to mobile phones, or voicemail

You are out of office for some reasons or your employees are on the move? That is not a problem! Your customers will be able to contact you using your unique number.

All calls can be forwarded to other mobile phones or home phones. If you are in a meeting and you can't answer, VoiceMailTel features the opportunity for your callers to leave a message, that way you will not be disturbed, and still get all the news.

Customize messages to suit your business needs

By default the service is configured with some standard messages. You can customize all these messages to better suit your business needs. You can organize the Auto Attendant script to work with departments, offices, persons, business hours and after business hours and much more. Virtual Phone Service will help you improve your communication with the clients and also the image of your company.
