Imo number of small business owners who cheat is probably closer to 80%.

Back when I used to represent people before the IRS if a small business client got audited I'd just throw out the more obvious cheats right from the start ("Okay I'm going to start out by conceding that sea kayaks are not a valid deduction for a psychiatric practice") hoping the IRS didn't catch the less obvious cheats.

Every small business in the U.S. that maintains an inventory cheats on inventory. Never heard of one that didn't.

A small business can easily skim 10% of net income year after year but if you are a wage earner you're screwed, it's taken out of your paycheck. So wage earners get the short end of the stick there.
