| Natalie feel free to adopt a mess policy also. Tax deductible eats. LOL | |

| Thanks Roy. Now we can point to this discussion as the perfect accountable plan -- no attorneys needed. I guess that also includes S-corp owners who also happen to be employees because you have "all employees." Good work! | |

| Fred, do you mean you lease out those Hooter Chicks? Is the lease capitalized? | |
| May 25, 2008 | |
| Action, I'm sure Fred just has an operating lease arrangement with those girls. He does have boundaries after all. | |
| 27 May 2008 | |
| all short term leases too ladies. After a while, the inventory needs to be turned over. | |

| Roy,
If I join, does this mean I get to deduct these meals on my tax return? The reason I ask is my friend's buddy, has a friend who has another friend who has another friend whose sister's husband has a fourth cousin whose sister-in-law is married to a firefighter and they told me that this fireman's tax preparer has been deducting his meals on his tax return for years and never been audited. They also tell me that the firefighter in his spare time is a K-9 cop who gets to deduct $10 a day for the dog's expenses. Does this sound legit? If I do get to deduct this, is it an itemized deduction, Schedule C expense or do I net it against my wages on Line 7? Just wondering..... Tom | |

| Tom,
The plan is you must join, and you must pay. Because I am the employer I get to eat for free. The IRS says employees must pay for the exclusion. Your dog and horse business should cover any income you have left over after enjoying my mess. By the way nothing but the finest for my employees, top dollar all the way. What do want on the menu? | |

| Roy,
Steaks would be nice, grilled over charcoal, no gas grills permitted. We could also do chicken, pizza, whatever. As long as the kitchen is fireproof, I volunteer to cook. Tom | |

| I think I should be an honorary member as I don't like to pay for things, I want a free ride. And this way you can consider it a campaign contribution. And one thing, Let's not let Tom cook. | |

| Now, now Fred ... Tom is a good cook (according to him). He's just not safe indoors. He should be allowed to BBQ, providing the local FD is on alert and there's enough defensible space surrounding him & the Green egg thingy he likes so much.
I have a recipe for tequilla lime marinated pork tenderloin that's really good. I might need help keeping Fred away from the marinade tho. Perhaps we can include those 'on-alert' firemen, collect their dollars, change their employment agreements to make our BBQ a required mess so they get to write off all the fun times we are planning to have. Can we make the BBQ aprons into uniforms so we can deduct those too? | |

| Better put a guard at the door for that one Belle. Great idea about the aprons. All we have to do is put "Fred and Tom's Great Tax Adventure" on them and that should qualify. Or is it "Tom and Fred's Great Tax Adventure"? (Gee, I don't know if they worked out their agreement yet.)
See what you started Roy! | |

| Belle,
I am humble about my cooking to be honest, it's my friends who brag about it. And I prefer the Big Green Egg only because it works very well. I just bought my third. I did a dinner once for 40 people. Only 2 people didn't like it, everyone else raved about it. My parish priest wanted to hire me and fire his cook. He asked my mom if she taught me how to cook. She said yes and my sister immediately corrected her because, well, my mom can't. Now if I use any of my equipment for this, will I have to keep a log of my personal and RoyDaleOne LLC use or can I just deduct 100% under my tax/accounting business if I put a sign on the side of my grills advertising my tax/accounting business? Tom | |

| Tom,
Maybe you should have let the priest hire you on a contractual basis, then you could have purchased groceries for yourself and deducted that. In addition to all those trips to the supermarket! If you sneak in a few personal things every so often, I'm sure nobody will catch it! :P Evan | |
