Let the IRS Help Pay for Your Family's Travel

Episode Description from the Publisher

In this episode Mike and Kevin walk through one of the most misunderstood lines in the tax code: business travel. Using real trips from their own year, a due diligence seminar in Cancún, a partner retreat in Colorado, and a scouting trip for a short-term rental in Maine, they break down exactly what makes travel ordinary and necessary, where the line is between managing a business and merely dreaming about one, and how much of your next trip the IRS actually ends up paying for.Get in touch → https://www.revotaxpayer.com/consultation?utm_medium=podcastConnect With UsWebsite: https://www.revotaxpayer.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/revotaxpayer/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/revotaxpayer/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/revo-taxpayer-advocacyYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HiddenMoneyPodcastChapters[00:00] Introduction[00:01] The Cancún trip[00:04] The partner retreat[00:07] Managing rental property[00:08] Expanding a short-term rental business[00:09] The line that matters[00:10] Where the IRS looks hardest[00:12] How much the IRS actually "pays" for your trip[00:13] Vehicles count too[00:14] Legal, legitimate, and a form of good stewardship
