Trent, he should have told the IRS to stick it. A snowblower is legitimate. You can be sure that GM writes off theirs. You just take the same percentage as your offfice is of your house.

If you don't shovel your sidewalks it is bad for business.

I didn't write off mine because I didn't know that I could at the time.

IRS people lie through their teeth.
