@Jerryll NoordenCongrats on your victory check!

Victor, I agree with Shawn.  

Your victory over them is your own success.Keep a clear head and they will reveal to you their own weaknesses which you can exploit to your own gain.

Is there a case where the following occurred, in which the IRS has claimed a victory for the defendant under the following:-High W-2 income earner invests in short term rentals-taxpayer is not a real estate professional -offers rental for less than 7 days on average-materially participates and more hours than anyone else etc etc (100 hours and so forth)-files it on schedule E as passive and does not offer substantial services to be classified as schedule C - cost segs a million dollar purchase for 200k and deducts from W-2 income to owe no taxes There are a ton of moving pieces with this, and the more complicated something is with the IRS the worse it is for the taxpayer when dealing with an audit.

Victory!

From my experience, related not only to real estate but also another retail business I had, there are no inexpensive victories in court.

Hello Victor, I am by way of Michigan, but I do have inventory in the Wisconsin Market.

CM scored an ever-so-small victory: http://s000.tinyupload.com/download.php?

For us we're looking at the little victories, the fundamentals. 

So let’s not count what has not happened as victory.
