Jeremy explores the hobby loss rule through the landmark case of artist Susan Crile, who successfully defended her art business against IRS claims despite reporting losses in nearly all of 25 years. The episode breaks down the nine-factor test used to determine whether an activity has a genuine profit motive, examining how professional conduct, record-keeping, and business decisions matter more than consistent profitability. This case offers crucial lessons for practitioners working with creative professionals, startups, and any clients going through extended periods without turning a profit.
