I’m sure many of you have seen the movie Titanic, but did  you know that the  date it sank  was  April 15, 1912? If you are one of those people still sinking under a cardboard box of  bits and pieces of paper trying to decipher what deductions you can claim as a writer, here are some links that may be helpful:

These are links by some authorities in the legal and writing industry and the IRS itself. Hopefully they will keep you from sinking before the deadline, however they are not a substitute for consulting your own tax advisor.  Happy April 15th!
