Introduction
The purpose of this post is to analyze the difference between the business and hobby classifications designated by the IRS.
Calculations
Conclusions
Our set of examples examined the tax liability resultant from the different classifications over a variety of different situations. The one determining factor affecting which classification was preferred was the existence of income outside the taxpayer's business/hobby. If a taxpayer earns a salary outside their other activity, the business classification would be preferred over the hobby classification.
