You see US tax law is so complicated and I know so little about it that I don’t know if this would work or not. I’m guessing somehow not unless you’re rich.
Many business owners that I know do a lite version of this. Going out to eat? Discuss work for 5 minutes, then you can call it a business meeting and avoid paying taxes on the meal. Driving to and from work? Gas is a write off. Buying supplies for the office? Tax free, and maybe some of the supplies make it home with you.
That’s fraud. The 5 minute business discussion can be written off, the remaining (let’s say) 55 minutes cannot. Maybe it differs where you live, but where I do only travel between work destinations can be written off, so home to work doesn’t count. Buying supplies for the office is a normal and valid expense, taking them home is theft and/or taxable
Yeah if you own a small business, learning what you can write off is crucial. It takes a lot of the pain out.
But you’ve still gotta have an actual business XD
