What qualifies as a "LEGITIMATE BUSINESS," as opposed to an "Income Producing Hobby" or an "Income Producing Activity"?

THAT is the Key Question.

The answer?

The IRS'S OWN DEFINITION is spelled out in Ch. 2
of "Home Business Tax Savings Made Easy!" on
pages 43-46. If you follow the guidance in that chapter,
you should have bullet-proof tax returns.

CONSIDER THIS:

A person who does NOT have a legitimate home-based
business (HBB), should not be claiming home-business
tax-deductions anyway.

A person who DOES have a legitimate home-based
business, shouldn't worry about the IRS possibly looking
for hobbyists who are pretending to have a real business.
