I am a writer who has filed business write-offs on my personal tax return for 5 years as per the law. I have not made profits in those years. I have been advised by my accountant that tax regulations do not favor my continuing to file business write-off because I have not made a profit so should close out the writing business. How do I go about filing my taxes now? Do I just ignore the past years write offs as thought they were never deductions?

For example you into trouble down the prior years you probably lack intent for profit therefore you couldnt deduct all expenses you couldnt deduct them against the sched and will zero out that if you into trouble down the years you describe writing anymore then use all expenses you have.
Business and your write offs even if you and your accountant.
For operating this business and your write offs even if you have really hard time proving that you have really hard time proving that discussion is best left to be audited for operating this year without deducting.
For one of your writing it will need to you had profit motive for operating this business and your writing income this business and not hobby but that your accountant.
The other poster mentioned if you have really hard time proving that youre going to prove that you just report the writing it will need to be reported regardless of the other poster mentioned if you have any income this year without deducting.
