Let's say I win a race and bring home $250. Does that technically make me a professional cyclist? And if so, can I deduct certain things like race fees, tires, tubes, coaching, power bars, custom TI frames, Italian training camps, etc.?

You know damn well the IRS is going to tax my $250 winnings to the max (this amount would put me into that highest 1% bracket), so, um, what could I get away with?

What can I deduct?

In this bracket you should have a competent tax attorney who should be able to advise you. Free legal advice is worth what you pay for it - nothing!

If you win money and are reqiured to pay taxes on it then you can deduct directly related expenses.
