YOUR
MONEYS WORTH
Expense Account Crockdown
BY SYLVIA PORTER

The administrations 1861
tax reform bill is dead-whicf
means there will be no legisla-
ton this year to curb deduc.
tion for expense accounts. But
if you think this means there
will be no breakdown on "ex-
pense account living" think
again. The facts are:
The Internal Revenue Serv-
ice can accomplish much OF
what legislation would have
achieved on expense account
deductions.
The tax agents of the IRIS
have been cracking down hard,
they are cracking down hard,
they will crack down harder.
Every area of abuse which
IRIS Commissioner Mortimer
Caplin submitted to Congress
is being critically examined
and will be viewed even more
Skeptically by the tax agents
and this goes not only for
Mr.. Caplin'S horrible exam
pies" of huge deductions for
yachts and hunting lodges but
also for less spectacular deduc-
tionS for an office at home or
a combined business-vacation
trip.
LOOphOles Being Closed
The IRIS began Spotlighting
extravagant expense account
claims on the 1861 tax returns
when it required business firms
to show on the face of their
returns the name, earnings and
expense account of any officer.
partner or individual proprietor
with a combined earnings-ex-
penSe account of $4,000 or
more. This surely will be con-
tinued in some form on the
1861 business tax returns.
1t began closing loopholes
last year when its agents
stepped up examinations of
expense account accounting
and intensified questioning of
supporting evidence in the
gray" category.
If Congress had passed even
a watered down tax reform
law, the formal clampdown on
expense accounts would have
been considerable. If you
claimed deductions for food
and lodging on business trips,
you would have been limited
to a reasonable" allowance. If
you gave a business gift, your
tax deduction would have been
restricted to $25 per year per
person. Your club dues and
fees wouldn't have been de-
ductible at all. You would have
been required to present far
more proof of the propriety
and accuracy of your
deductions.
Congress hasn't passed even
a Watered down version, but if
the breakdown begun in 1860
is pursued in 1861, you're not
getting as much of a reprieve
as you may think.
For instance, a tax agent.
will not consider any credit
card as automatic evidence of
a deductible business expense.
You'll need to show supporting
evidence on who was enter
tained, why, when, etc.
Proof Is Necessary
A tax agent will not accept
checks made out to cash as
proof of deductible expendi-
lures. You'll have to show what
the cash went for and why
this is an appropriate deduc-
ton.
A tax agent will not accept
an expense diary as evidence
of a deductible expense unless
the amounts are relatively
small. If your diary is heavy"
with expenditures, you'll have
to give the agent supporting
information.
A tax agent will not permit |
you to compute deductible car
merely on the basis
of yearly mileage times an
estimated cost per mile. You'll
have to prove you actually used
your car for business, show
where and when and why the
car was so used.
