We find not just that the techniques weren’t seriously utilized, but also that, for the most part, petitioners’ advisers weren’t experts as much as these were upliners with a financial stake in petitioners’ retail and downline sales. Neither petitioners nor their advisers appeared to be even vaguely thinking about the importance of cutting back their expenses.
IRS failed to confirm that taxpayer’s Amway activities weren’t continued for revenue. Deductions for expenditures related to Amway activities were allowed only to extent conceded by IRS: taxpayers failed to substantiate expenses more than that amount. At trial, respondent contended for the first time that petitioner’s Amway activities weren’t engaged in with the requisite profit goal under section 183.

Deductions were allowed in part for car and food expenditures, and were refused for gift expenses, because taxpayer didn’t completely substantiate claims. Another win for an IBO. Hooray. Too bad they didn’t do a better job on substantiation. Taxpayer wasn’t involved in Amway distribution activity with revenue objective. As to the Amway distributorship fee, petitioner didn’t show that he conducted his Amway affairs regarding the a trade or business or a task engaged set for profit.
Taxpayers’ Amway activities weren’t trade or business and weren’t engaged in for income but were performed primarily to obtain taxes deductions and credits; business expenditures, investment credit, and child care credit refused. Taxpayers’ (husband and wife) activities weren’t continued in businesslike manner, they both had full-time jobs, plus they had hardly any success in obtaining other marketers or offering products.
