That is right PMueller. Your going to need one.

Hooper and I have discusses this last month. It is called a TWIC. Tranpotation workers identification credential. Basically another $130 tax. You can go online and make an appointment at the nearest TSA office to you. It really shouldn't apply to the small boat charter crowd however if you have a USCG license you are suppose to have one. Mine is pending at his time 6-8 week TSA backlog. I need it for my real job and chartering.

Hey, it is another deduction.......

Zacs,

Yes you have to keep good tabs. You do have to show a profit every so many years. On years when you are in the red and have to show a profit it is all creative book keeping. Not to mention the whole charter operation business is a partly a cash business. I have even seen short ads stating bring cash.....that isn't just because someone doesn't trust your check.
