- Comment on Why do big corporations get to claim losses, but small businesses can't? 2 months ago:
they get audited, at least, yearly by law
The IRS doesn’t audit annually, companies hire 3rd party auditors. And it’s not a tax requirement, it’s a public-company requirement.

Yes there is a difference, but LLC is a legal concept, not a tax one. The IRS taxes sole proprietors the same whether or not they have an LLC.
Tax entities include sole proprietorship (default), partnerships, s corps, c corps. Any of those can be LLCs, but they don’t have to.

Profitability is just a proxy for whether someone is legitimately running a business, or just trying to save money on their hobby. Businesses can deduct expenses, hobbies cannot.
So if you are running an etsy store or an engineering company and buy a 3d printer to make parts, the cost of that 3d printer is subtracted from revenue for tax purposes. If your “business” is actually a hobby, it’s not legally a business expense and therefore it’s not deductible

- Comment on How does delisting a game make/save money? 8 months ago:
I see “taxes” a lot but I have never seen someone explain the mechanism by which this is supposed to work.
The only thing I can come up with in my head is that they have capitalized the development costs and are currently depreciating the resulting asset. And that by cancelling/delisting the games it may allow them to immediately depreciate the rest of it, thereby recognizing a large expense for the current tax year, reducing profit, and therefore taxes.
Is that how this is supposed to work?

I looked and saw that you’ve posted about 100 times in the last month (many of which j recognized and appreciated, thank you for your service). Three of them have net down votes.
Seems like your posts are mostly well received, so I’m not sure what the issue is? 97% positive isn’t enough?

- Comment on How can casinos stay open when they lose so much money? 11 months ago:
I can agree with all of that and still think it looks like the casino saying “uh, no we don’t want to pay you.” I think something is missing.
Maybe the key point is that the value displayed on the screen is, say, “derived” and not the “ground truth.” If you get cherry-coin-grape and that’s worth $2 but the display says $42 million, it better be well-established that cherry-coin-grape is the deciding output and not the display.
What if you get triple-treasure-chests and the casino says nah that’s a display bug, it was really cherry-coin-grape internally. Where’s the line here? Im sure it is legally established but of course shitty news articles aren’t going to go to that level of detail when they can quote the plaintiffs attorney instead
