Notes de l'éditeur
- Note Hobbies are not businesses. Personal activity that may generate revenue. Taxpayer generally has burden of proving their intent to make a profit. Specific factors listed in Regulations such as: History of income or loss Elements of personal pleasure or recreation Deductions only allowed to extent of revenue.
- Bad debts are discussed in two places – once in front and more details near the end of the chapter. It is important to note that cash basis taxpayers have NO accounts receivable so there is no bad debt deduction. It might also be noted that in contrast to bad debts, cash basis taxpayers can deduct bad loans – they have basis in these assets. However, this brings up whether a lone is a business loan (ordinary) or nonbusiness (short term capital). Best to save this discussion for capital assets. Business losses are also rather complex (e.g. section 1231 treatment) – this chapter merely serves to introduce the notion that business losses are deductible rather than discuss the nature of the deduction.
- Note that the time spent on an activity may not be conclusive for the primary purpose – a question of fact and circumstance
- Note that the 52/53 week can facilitate closing of books.
- Note that the first year for most fiscal year entities are typically short years Note that some exceptions are skipped – the “natural” business year end and the deferral year end
- We skip a discussion of inventory flows here, but a slide may be added if students are confused.
- These rules only apply to accrual basis taxpayers.
- Include a few of the key examples from the book.
