Here’s our OPINION for the Metro Detroit market (use as a template for your target area!)

., before December 30If the earliest possible date investor was actively carrying on a trade or business was December 30, 2004, then any expenses incurred in that year but incurred “before the day on which the active trade or business” began, all the expenses incurred from January 1 through December 29, 2004--would be, by definition, start-up expenses whose deductibility, and possible amortization, is expressly dealt with by section 195 (Start up amortization).Court case for reference: Code Sec(s): 162; 195Docket: Dkt No. 30077-07.Date Issued: 04/30/2009Judge: Opinion by Gustafson, J.Tax Year(s): Year 2004.Disposition: Decision for Commissioner.
