Not the first time such as happened...... believe the story.
Farmer was wrong on two points....
.... first he did not have a story for the loss of the chickens, or did not charge back to himself a reasonable amount for using business deductions for personal purposes.....
...and second he apparently handled the audit himself, or at least was in attendance. I would never have let him (or any other client) within 500 feet of the IRS auditor.
That story highlights the reason farmers......the typical farmer/maybe one employee operation.........are foolish for claiming 100% of their pickups as business assets, and depreciating 100%.
100% requires the keeping of a mileage log.
