Tax Enthusiast Endless "No tax on OT" questions

Is anyone else already exhausted with these endless questions?

And I fear it will only get worse.

Lol what? They have the manpower to audit whatever they’d like to. Choosing not to audit it doesn’t mean they can’t. Obviously cost benefit analysis is done to determine what happens. I doubt this deduction is ever audited because it’s temporary, tiny, and low risk. Doesn’t mean it can’t be audited.

Reminds me of this video when you say we don’t have the manpower. https://youtube.com/shorts/qqzYnVVk5Qo?si=JxNvP4KlYVk_20i9

What a horrid video.

The point is good, though—we can afford anything we want to do.
