  Fair enough. Human ignorance? I guess what I was getting at is that there isn’t ever a “good reason” (which is the term used in the comment i was replying to) to exhaust a generator to any indoor space.

  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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do big corporations get to claim losses, but small businesses can't?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  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

  A nearby liquor store has 19.2 oz for $3, and there is usually a buy-2-get-$2-back rebate. At 9.5% alcohol that’s basically six drinks. Get smashed for $4

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How does delisting a game make/save money?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨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?
