Create a deduction for an “entertainment facility”

January 1, 2013

Do you use any of the following for business entertaining?

yachts + hunting lodges + fishing camps + swimming pools + tennis courts airplanes + apartments + hotel suites + or similar facilities

If you do, you may be able to deduct the use of these “entertainment facilities” and reduce your tax bill. But be careful! The IRS can be tough on these deductions which is why smart tax planning is so important.

Want to find out more about how to create write-offs that stand up to the closest IRS scrutiny? Then read my fact-filled new article titled Tax Tips: Creating Tax Deductions for an Entertainment Facility.
