How To Not Get A Deduction For Paying Your Girlfriend’s Mortgage
Sadly, Mr. Jackson did not really have much of that going on. He claimed that he gave Ms. Furney $1,000 in cash each month. Nonetheless, he deducted $15,720 in mortgage interest in both 2011 and 2012. That’s a pretty hefty deduction given that he had wage income of $39,292 and $33,022 in those two years. The Form 1098, which was as you would expect addressed to Ms. Furney showed $13,794 in each year. So the $15,720 appears to be what my first managing partner, Herb Cohan, would refer to as “You know.

The critical element, in my view, is adjusting your behavior as you see that things are not working. You will see people who win horse cases on the same grounds. Amway Independent Business Owners on the other hand always seem to keep on keeping on in the face of persistent losses.
Mr. Main did not avoid the common problem of attorneys in Tax Court. He lost some of his deduction for lack of substantiation. That was the story of the great F. Lee Bailey, who is now filing for bankruptcy. He won against the IRS on a highly technical issue and split with them on hobby loss, but got absolutely killed when it came to substantiation. Mr. Main, on the other hand, seems to have only given a bit on that issue.

Over and over again courts have said that there is nothing sinister in so arranging one’s affairs as to keep taxes as low as possible. Everybody does so, rich or poor; and all do right, for nobody owes any public duty to pay more than the law demands: taxes are enforced exactions, not voluntary contributions. To demand more in the name of morals is mere cant.
