Paying for signatures and receipts. Strictly Business!

[jcjames]

I'm writing a piece on this for Bleeding Cool at the behest of some folk. But here's a question - if the creator signed the receipt, could he or she charge for that too? Where would it end?

I see a growing market for CGC to authenticate, grade and slab signed-receipts.

 

Or just have signature "stamp" and inkpad sitting next to the creator for him/her or their handler to deal with receipts.

I see both sides but I am sure most creators would rather not sign for SS then have to claim income for sigs

I'd insist on a signed receipt, then ebay it. IRS accepts photocopies

Well here is the Bleeding Cool article.

Again, to be clear, this is about legitimizing a business. If you are are dealer of SS books in particular and you are not recording how much you spend on signatures, you are doing yourself a disservice.

 

If you are currently claiming on your tax forms without proof, you are opening up yourself to some potential IRS headaches.

They're insisting on cash only, and if they're claiming it or not, that's up to them----but if I'm claiming those expenses at the end of the year, I should be able to provide a receipt.

they are going to eventually get nailed if they do not report them.
