Green’s gambling activities do not qualify as a trade or business, can he deduct his gambling-related travel and lodging expenses against his gambling winnings? Applicable Case Law, Code & Regulations Per Section 165(d) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC), a taxpayer may deduct their gambling losses to the extent of their gambling winnings. However, Section 262 of the IRC indicates, “…no deduction shall be allowed for personal, living, or family expenses.” In ruling on Stanley B. and Rose M. Whitten v. Commission of Internal Revenue, the US Tax Court has stipulated that travel and lodging expenses are not considered losses and therefore cannot be used as a deduction. Conclusion Given the current tax regulations and case law, travel and lodging expenses associated to Dr. Green’s gambling activities cannot be categorized as a loss. The Tax Court clearly established in Stanley B. and Rose M. Whitten v. Commission of Internal Revenue the difference between gambling losses and travel and lodging expenses in the closing of the judgment wherein they stated there is no need, “…to eliminate the distinction between wagering losses, i.e., the amount of wagers or bets lost on wagering transactions, and expenses related thereto, e.g., expenses for transportation, meals, and lodging incurred to engage in wagering transactions… Unlike a wager or bet, petitioner incurred the expenses in question in exchange for specific goods and services, such as transportation,

The con- sumer makes the offer, whether by mail, as above, or by arriving at a merchant's store ready to buy. The seller is free to reject the offer. | Application of Black Letter Law to Facts: | In the most simple basic form, a contract is formed through offer and acceptance - Since the Raisin Board’s advertisement did not count as an offer being made on their part, Milton’s sending in the $700,000 dollars to buy the points for the jet is not considered an acceptance of an offer.

The non-GAAP measurements included in this report are: cash flow from operations, operating netback, return on equity, return on average capital employed, debt to capital employed, debt to capitalization, debt to cash flow from operations and corporate reinvestment ratio.

The act didn’t address the problems the country was facing because it didn’t require the banks to give out loans and it used the people’s money in an inappropriate manner. If the government was going to give the money, it should have been regulated as to how it was spent. The banks kept the money, raised requirements for loans so that most people couldn’t get them and resulted in no money movement and a stagnant economy. The money was supposed to ‘trickle down’ to the people, but the opposite effect occurred that was wanted by the act
