Tax Court Denies RV Business Deductions

Its actually worth reading the report. It gives a pretty good impression of how we are perceived by Congress as it relates to the IRS. If you read the explanations, you would be surprised by the ruling, particularly where they evaluate any personal use of the RV negating business purpose. What the law really fails to do is to be consistent with how business is conducted. The interpretation of the law does not demonstrate consistency with what one would do in a hotel, when they are on business. It is assumed that if one watches TV, that constitutes personal use for a whole day. Typically if one stays in a hotel, they would watch TV in the hotel, yet that is not considered personal use of the hotel. It also does not seem that inconsistency was argued.
