Am I to assume, with the last hurrah for this generation of tech suits, that Nationals will be huge, and therefore no 6th event?
Is it even worth it to enter 6?
What expenses are those exactly -- sunblock? those nifty white t-shirts? post-USAS-meet beers to quell the ringing voices of psycho swim parents*?
Those and more. There are many officials that travel on their own dime to volunteer their officiating at meets. Sometimes that travel is a drive across the state. Sometimes that travel is a flight to Omaha to officiate at Olympic Trials. Hotel stay, meals while at the meet. Any uniform requirements.. the polo, the white pants (or whatever color is locally mandated)... heck, even your whistle can be taken as an officiating expense.
If you're driving to the meet as an official, you can deduct your mileage expense.
