Business expenses that are "ordinary and necessary" are deductible. If they are not, they are no deductible. There are relatively few deductions specifically authorized. You think we're all idiots???? How do billionaires get the tax on their AGI down to 11-12 %.....How did Romney do it, especially after an amended return..... You deny knowing about special "earmarks" for single individuals or things like a special farm or business???? They can give away used equipment using an inflated value as a contribution, individuals do the same thing when they donate a wrecked car to some "charity" like Kars for Kids and claim book value on their tax return......we've had a couple on this thread who admitted doing that....didn't you recommend that to one of your clients.? What are all those highly paid lobbyists doing for their money???
