Answer:

The answers are:

  • Holly can deduct $145 from business expenses
  • The $250 paid in theater tickets are not deductible

Explanation:

You can deduct ordinary and necessary expenses from your business income.

Ordinary expenses are expenses commonly paid by other taxpayers in your same industry.

Necessary expenses considers things that you need to pay in order to do business.

Some expenses can only be deducted partially even if they are ordinary and necessary, like having meals with your clients. You can deduct up to 50% of what you paid for the meal ($290 x 50% = $145)

With the introduction of the 2017 Tax Reform Law theater tickets are no longer deductible expenses, the same with most entertainment expenses that used to be deductible.

The minimum salary of at least $455/week does not apply for the outside salespeople. There is no salary basis or compensation for outside salespeople to qualify for the "white-collar" exemption.

1) their primary duty is to make sales or obtain orders or contracts for services or contracts for the use of the facilities that clients or customers pay.
2) in performing their primary duty, the salesperson is regularly engaged away from the employer's place of business.
