If I pay for travel, lodging, and meals to be a contestant on a game show, are those expenses tax deductible.?



Answer:
absolutely not, unless you could somehow prove that you're a professional game show contestant (which, of course, you aren't)
I think you may be able to deduct from your winning. If you don't win, no.
They are only tax deductible to the extent that they offset the income you win - otherwise, no.
NOPE. Think of it as a vacation and then if you win, you win! If you lose, you had a vacation with better odds than Vegas.
No I don't think so. Why should government subsidize your traveling for a game show. This is in fact what you're asking.
no
You would only be able to deduct these costs up to the extent of your winnings as long as you itemize your deductions. If you do not itemize, then no.
