Rules for Deductions for AGI. [1 of 7] • A taxpayer reports income and
can deduct reasonable expenses (and losses) for a trade or business operation.
• A taxpayer reports income and can deduct reasonable expenses (and losses) for a transaction entered into for profit, even though it does not meet the definition of a trade or business operation.
Rules for Deductions for AGI. [2 of 7] • A trade or business operation often
means providing goods or services to customers. (By comparison, an employee provides services to his or her employer.)
• When you buy an asset hoping to sell it later at a profit (such as buying IBM stock) you are not in a trade or business, but this is a transaction entered into for profit.
Rules for Deductions for AGI. [3 of 7]• There is no good definition of a trade or business.
• An typical investor is not in a trade or business.
However, Wachovia Securities invests in stocks and sells stocks to its customers. It is a business.
• If you buy land and build an apartment building on it for resale, you may not be in a trade or business. If you repeat this 20 times, you are in the real estate business (possibly as a real estate developer).
• When does your activity rise to the level that causes you to be in a trade or business? Who knows?
Rules for Deductions for AGI. [4 of 7] • Expenses (and losses) are deductible
“For AGI” if they are for a trade or business operation (generally providing goods or services to customers, clients, etc.).

being an employee, but is subject to special limits on deductions.
• Employee expenses are deductible from AGI (Misc. Deductions) except for reimbursed expenses. (If the reimbursement is included in income, there is an offsetting deduction for AGI. Usually, reimbursed expenses are not included in income, so there is no deduction.)

The deductions allowed by this chapter (other than by part VII of this subchapter) which are attributable to a trade or business carried on by the taxpayer, if such trade or business does not consist of the performance of services by the taxpayer as an employee.

Chapter 9. Business Income
Loss: Disposal of Bus Prop. [Chp. 11] [13]
Bus. Casualty Losses (also Pg. 7-12) [14]
Business casualty and theft losses result from damage caused by a sudden, unexpected and/or unusual event
–For property fully destroyed, deduct the adjusted basis less insurance recovery
–For property partially destroyed, deduct lesser of the property’s adjusted basis, or the decline in the property’s value
Involuntary Conversions • An involuntary conversion results from
– Theft – embezzlement, larceny and robbery (but not simply losing items)
– Casualty – requires a sudden, unexpected, and unusual event such as a fire, flood, tornado, hurricane or vandalism
– Condemnation – lawful taking of property for its fair market value by a government under the right of eminent domain
Casualties and Thefts• Gains and losses sustained on
casualties and thefts are not under a taxpayer’s control so they receive special tax treatment–Allowable losses (including personal
losses) are immediately deductible–Gains (due to receipt of insurance
proceeds) may be deferred if all insurance proceeds are used to repair the damaged property or to acquire qualifying replacement property
Casualty and Theft Losses• Partial destruction of Business or Investment
Property– Loss limited to the lesser of:
Decline in fair market value (or repair costs to restore property to pre-casualty condition), orThe adjusted basis of the property
Complete Destruction of Business PropertyFor business property that is completely destroyed, the loss is always the property’s adjusted basis.
• The loss computed above is then reduced by any insurance proceeds received

Casualty &Theft Loss Deductions• Thefts are deductible in year of discovery• For casualties in designated disaster areas,
taxpayer can elect to deduct loss in preceding year
• A net business loss is deducted from ordinary income; an investment loss is an itemized deduction
• Individuals have additional limits on losses from personal-use property:– $100 floor per casualty (per event) – 10% of AGI threshold– Must itemize to deduct loss

Gains on Involuntary Conversions
• If the insurance recovery on a casualty or theft is greater than the loss, the taxpayer has a gain
• Condemnations usually result in gain because proceeds received are usually fair market value
Gains on Involuntary Conversions• If all proceeds are used to acquire qualified
replacement property (or repair the property to its pre-casualty condition) within the required replacement period, the gain is deferred
• Gain may have to be recognized if all proceeds are not used to acquire replacement property (or make repairs to the damaged property) within the required time period
Jane's residence was totally destroyed by fire. The property had an adjusted basis of $150,000 and a FMV of $130,000 before the fire.

What amount of the fire loss was Jane entitled to claim as an itemized deduction on her tax return?a. $ 2,900 b. $ 8,500 c. $ 8,600 d. $10,000
Requirements for recognizing taxable income tend to be structured to recognize income earlier than the recognition rules for GAAP accounting. Requirements for accruing tax deductions tend to be structured to recognize less accrued expenses than the recognition rules for GAAP reporting purposes. The government's main objective for writing tax laws is to collect revenues. Tax accounting rules for accrual-method businesses tend to bias against understating income.
