What Do The National Taxpayer Advocate and David Letterman Have In Common?... [ read ]
When I was in college, Late Night With David Letterman, which was on NBC immediately after The Tonight Show With Johnny Carson, was must see TV. I know I am dating myself, but almost every weeknight my fraternity brothers and I would watch Late Night to see Dave, Paul Schafer, Larry "Bud" Melman, stupid pet tricks, stupid people tricks, the guy under the seats and other wacky bits. Of course, this was only after we had completed 2-3 hours of quality study time at the fraternity house. I know from recent experience that you can waste a whole weekend watching old Late Night clips on YouTube, including an audience favorite, the nightly Top 10 list. The Top 10 list was usually topical, but could be anything.

Prevailing On Business vs. Hobby Determinations Is Now More Important Than Ever... [ read ]
Recently, Joel Crouch wrote an excellent blog about a taxpayer who prevailed over the IRS, which had argued that the taxpayer's ranching business was not really a business. While it is great that the taxpayer was victorious, had the Tax Court determined that the ranching operation was not a business, but a hobby, the taxpayer may have still been entitled to claim some deductions for its hobby expenses. This is, in part, because the years at issue in that case were 2015, 2016, and 2017. The legal landscape is much less friendly for recent years.

Tax Court Starts Off The Year Allowing the Deduction of Significant Losses from a Cattle Ranch... [ read ]
The U.S. Tax Court started off the year with a very nice win for taxpayers. In Wondries v. Commissioner, the court rejected the IRS's disallowance of loss deductions under IRC Section 183 and held that the taxpayers engaged in their cattle ranching activity for profit rather than as a hobby.
