Regardless, the S Corp had passed through nearly $100,000 in loss to Mr. Kantchev in 2007, most of which was carried forward into 2008 along with another nearly $10,000 loss. The IRS did not attack the losses with Section 183 (hobby loss). They had a more subtle trap. Generally, when you make a film you are supposed to capitalize your costs and recover them through depreciation deductions.
Now it happened that until this year producers could elect to deduct production costs. There are limits and qualifications, but it is pretty clear that “Tiger Lily” met those and that Victory could have elected to expense the costs. Only the corporation didn’t. Mr. Kantchev argued that the corporation effectively made the election by deducting the costs. It is worth noting that there are some elections that you make that way. The election under Section 181 – Treatment of certain qualified film and television productions – just does not happen to be one of them.

To demand more in the name of morals is mere cant.
