I received a 1099 Misc. for money earned in assisting someone else in her clothing trunk shows in 2005. Not sure how to complete sch c for business name and if I can deduct mileage, meals, etc. that I paid for during these times. Also assist in clothes deliveries from these shows so have some addiional mileage throughout the year. Help!:confused:

Don't worry about the business name.

You can and should claim the mileage.

Meals you have to be careful about, but as long as they are not excessive, go ahead.
