It’s the Super Bowl. You’re watching for the football, right? Over a quarter of those tuned in do so to watch the commercials. That’s good news for advertisers – and lucky for them, they can take a tax deduction for the expense. But you don’t have to be a Super Bowl advertiser to claim promotional and advertising expenses.
Chances are that you are spending today gathered around a grill or trying to soak in some sun.
