rfassett Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Just like my guy this morning that took over $200,000 from his IRA, (not early), had 10% withheld and was SHOCKED, I tell you, he was SHOCKED, that he owes another 20 grand. "I thought I could offset all of that with my new business". The new business? A one man lawn mowing business. Come on, man! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RitaB Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 I bet that dog was not even a member of the household all year. Probably goes door to door selling his DOB and SSN to tax cheaters. Well, we are on to to you, Rover. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfassett Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 (edited) Just for the record - I was under the impression that Hohs were not deductible. Just sayin'! Edited March 31, 2015 by rfassett 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schirallicpa Posted March 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 My little baby in my picture comes to work with me everyday. I think I will take a deduction for him. He's my security. Ok - he doesn't look that tough, but you watch your ankles! So I can take his treats, his grooming, new collars. God I'm getting cynical this year! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joanmcq Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 My kitties provide a calming influence to clients, especially when confronted with owing. My dog used to work as a doorbell, but I think she's going deaf. Or is just so old she doesn't care anymore. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnH Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 (edited) Start selling cosmetics, handbags, cooking utensils, etc via one of the MLM plans. Buy lots of inventory & store it in your home office. Along with all the other great writeoffs, you can deduct the pet food & vet bills for your guard dog (or security cat, as the case may be).

Richcpaman Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 I have you all beat. I have my Parrot fly around and patrol the perimeter. $1,457.68 for security last year. Rich 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcjenkins Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 I've had clients want to deduct dog food, vet bills etc, but HOH, now that is really reaching there. How did she get a SSN for the dog? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnH Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 (edited) Obviously a "Perimeter Patrol Parrot", which would be fully deductible. I know plenty of companies that deduct the salaries, benefits, and travel expenses paid to "Seagull Managers", so there is ample precedent.

Rich I think that sounds real good to me! Clearly it's 'reasonable and necessary' to have your perimeter patrolled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneInAlabama Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 I have had clients slip in bills from "Dr. _______" in their medical receipts that I recognized as veterinarians. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrichman333 Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 (edited) Your client should hook-up with my clients bookkeeper. She calculate her bosses business income by adding all his bank deposits and deducting all the withdrawals.
