When I raced Nascar Grand Am Modifieds in to 90's, I ran it as a business. All good with the IRS, made money, spent money, paid taxes on the money I made.
Yup, the Inc. and DBA help with a ton of windows to open in the tax code. KEEP ALL RECEIPTS...ALLLL OF 'EM.

I just came across your channel. I am impressed with your ability to explain legal issues in business terms. I am a retired corporate attorney who spent much of my 40 years of practice explaining the law to business people, so I know it's not easy. It's obvious you understand the business as well as the law. Too many attorneys have no idea what the business client is thinking, and so don't explain the law in terms that the business person will understand.

I heard a statistic recently that stated the most audited tax returns by the IRS is racing entities. That should tell everyone to be extremely careful just "throwing together" a business for racing. Consult with an attorney before doing anything and plan to spend more than you think.
Even though I'm not a racer, this was an interesting video. Using the race track as a background was a nice touch.

Great vid!!! very informative, so.... What if I was wanting to purchase land and build a dirt track? Would these legal practices also align with owning it?
I'm interested in hearing more about being a motorsports attorney
So how do you go about making it a business and what all is needed in order to do so?
If that the race Joseph finished 1st last year?

Hello Elizabeth, I own my own small business, and I also race super late models in Pennsylvania. Is there a limit as to what I can write off in regards to the race car, and the advertisement that I do with my race team?
Whats a good way to present the benefits of a sponsorship?
yes absalutly register think of the filing fees as an investment my dad ran his all on his own until he got in over his head and offed himself because his wife found out how much he was spending

Crap.....sorry pal !
I have a few questions about the right way to go about starting a race team
Do you see yourself venturing out into your own firm or would that be a conflict of interest with your current employer if not do you think that some clientele would move to your firm
How would you recommend someone who is paying for this sport on their own move it into a functioning business?
What are the increased cost to change over to this rather than run it as a normal out of pocket hobby?
I dont understand how average people can afford to race any car, much less a late model. Maybe im missing something. Just buying the chassis is expensive.
Spend 2 million dollars to make 1 million racing. She must be legal help for tracks.
I am a Hillbilly ;) that spends $100,000 a year of his hard earned money on racing (Hobbies) with the intention to make a profit . But I never win 😂 so it's all gone .
Well now we know who is the brains of the outfit ..
"promo sm"
Uhh..yes..I'm from Missouri and raced and claimed it as a business..how you think alot of locals race with sponsorship?? Duh..farmers..they claim that crap..reason why they get to go racing with haulers and buy tractors..nexxxxt

Exactly! If done right, it absolutely is a legitimate business and you should then be able to tax advantage of all the benefits of having a business!
Lol the IRS does not agree with her opinion. Do not take her advice. I’ve been audited and I’ve been penalized when you do step up and get into the NASCAR level that I’m in now it is recognized but at the local level the IRS will butcher you.
