There is more to this than meets the eye. There is something she is not telling you, or something you are not telling us.

I am a CPA** and the expenses you are describing meet the definition of ordinary and necessary business expenses which are commonly allowed in her line of business.

I cannot believe the IRS would summarily disallow those expenses.

If the situation is accurately related per your synopsis, I would suggest you counsel her to ask her CPA to recommend a tax attorney. I then suggest she pays for a consultation with that attorney, plus 2 other tax attorneys (ask for referrals from friends and acquaintances), then selects the best attorney to fight on her behalf, which could be lengthy and quite expensive unfortunately.

**disclaimer – I am no longer in public practice and do not give specific tax advice.

Allan:

You might be interested in the lyrics from a 1983 song by English folk singer June Tabor. It’s on the “Abyssinians” album. The song is about the Holocaust, written from the viewpoint of a haunted concentration camp survivor (probably her father) who was forced to prepare other prisoners for death. The lines that come to mind are:

The final solution to no one’s problem
Friends and lovers in stinking rows
Avoiding their eyes, checking their numbers
Burning their clothes.

Cbad & Allan, I can’t believe someone is so lacking humanity that they are organizing this action. Ironic, isn’t it, that someone so blessed financially to be able live in Carlsbad can be so mean towards those with less, in this case less being less mentally.

I could understand not wanting the mentally ill in the neighborhood. They are unpredictable and potentially violent. I know from experience in my immediate family.

But I also know from experience that the mentally retarded are in general harmless and usually much nicer than most people.

Most of us will end up mentally disabled if we live long enough – Alzheimers and senile dementia are on the increase.

There is a valid issue in the e-mail – the use of taxpayer funds in purchasing an inappropriate home. I understand concerns about lack of accountability in spending taxpayer money; I just wonder if the author of this e-mail also plans to protest the ridiculously expensive, money losing Carlsbad golf course:
