Course Description
Millions of people enjoy hobbies that are also a source of income. From catering to baking cupcakes, crafting homemade jewelry to wind chimes — no matter what a person’s passion, we as tax professionals must determine if our client has a business or Hobby.
The rules for how to report the income and expenses depend on whether the activity is a hobby or business.
Sometimes the tax law is so obvious that one need not be an expert to conclude the result of a case. But at times we allow ourselves to be so obscured in details that we can miss the obvious, even in the world of complicated tax law.
This course provides a useful overview of determining if a business venture is a hobby subject to limitations on deductions or if the business venture is truly a trade or business and deductions are fully allowed under IRC Section 162.
Learning Objectives
Upon completing this course, participants will be able to:
- Extrapolate & Critique the Nine Relevant Factors
- Examine what is a “Trade or Business”
- Interpret the presumption that an activity is engaged for profit
- Explore relevant case law
- Provide and evaluate Client Questionnaire on Trade or Business Factors Regarding Profit Motive
- Formulate a plan on how to prove an activity is a trade or business when IRS says otherwise.
