AFAIK, that kind of thing has never been deductible, for obvious reasons.
And even if you did deduct it, then you'd have to also report it as income
to yourself, negating it.
 
 
 
In 2014 and 2015 I never counted that. As far as I am concerned I am still poor, the rest is either working capital or savings.

There are books out there, like JK Lasser, that give some good advice
and guidance, with examples. Also, have you read the IRS publications
that are available? Usually complexity is a function of what you're
doing, ie a business, not so much a function of how much you're making.
