Funding accounts in order to increases expenses can also be seen as tax evasion

WiredGuy - I thought you were small. It is not tax evasion with a cash based taxpayers if the amount purchased extra is in the ordinary course of busness.

Wouldn't this require me to have zero return on this investment? Since if I spent $100 in traffic and made $300 return, how did I save money in taxes?

Here's how I see it:

I have 100$ in revenue.
I spend 50$ on traffic.
The traffic generates $50 in revenue.

So, I'm back up to 100$ income.
I also have a 50$ business expense.
My new net income for tax purposes is 50$.

Of course there is an optimal ratio in there, which would give you the highest business expense to deduct while generating the highest ROI possible. But I don't feel like working it out right now.

Just do it on December 31 and don't turn on the traffic until the next day. You'll still get the deduction and you won't have to worry about last minute income or rushing a campaign.

Real smart. Get caught civil or criminal and have fun. Do the right thing and pay your taxes - if you move still owe everything if you a US citizen other than a small stipend of overseas work.

Easier to buy some traffic from http://www.sex.com or some other place now

Well you will still be taxed on any revenue the campaign generates above the original investment but if the deposit is made this year and the campaign is not run until January 2004 you wont have to claim the income on 2003 taxes.

I always beef up my advertising accounts at the end of the year to save a little bit. I have never heard of any problems associated with doing this as WG mentioned but I am small time (2-3k a month).

Can any of you sex.com people tell me if Matt B still works there.

Thanks
