    Car Racing

    Client has a racing car and wants to put it on Sch C. He only bought a motor for it! Nothing else. He says "his buddies" at the plant put it on their taxes too. This is cosidered as a hobby. Right?

    Not even quite a hobby yet

    In my opinion SueBaby. When someone comes in with the "Race Car" business I tell them we will start the form as soon as they have some income. Haven't started one yet.
    In other words, a democratic government is the only one in which those who vote for a tax can escape the obligation to pay it.

      Yeah, that is exactly what I told him. But he 'knew' better than I did and said all of his buddies has done this for years. Yeah right. So I did not do it 'like he told me to' . I just told him to take it where his buddies do their taxes too. I was 'ladylike' and not really told him where to take it.

        Do you start

        when you buy an engine or is it when placed in service. "HOBBY"-tell you guy he would make more money turning his buddies in for the finder's fee than he would racing.
