Exactly Bob. In reality any of us can write off the entire cost of our motorhome and all of our toys. And you won't have a problem at all unless the IRS catches you. :) If you don't get audited you're fine. If you do, you better get your checkbook out. I love how people make these claims of what they write-off and how since they haven't been caught it must be legal. Like put a sign for your business and then all the sudden the entire motorhome is a tax write-off? Not a chance. The cost of the sign you put on the motorhome is a deduction under advertising expenses on the schedule C. Try putting a motorhome under advertising expenses and see how fast the audit comes.
I've been audited twice in 19 years. NO PROBLEM whatsoever and I do not have a sign on my RV because it is just transportation, not advertising. Some businesses DO NOT need advertising to make money. Transportation expenses can legally be deducted if you can show a business reason to be making the trip and this is easy if you have the right kind of business. It is easy to be legal if you use your common sense and just keep good records. In my case, the federal government automatically keeps a lot of my records for me, which makes it impossible for them to dispute. The IRS is something others fear, not me.
I guess I missed your point as to why this was addressed to me. You said what I said. Or are you just agreeing with me?
Because you mentioned that if you DON"T get audited you won't have a problem and how people make claims and have not been caught by the IRS. I pointed out that some of us have been audited and we do deduct many RV costs LEGALLY. It is NOT a claim if it is a fact.
