Yeah, you arent winning that on audit. If you buy client some meals there, might be able to get some of the meals deducted.

Im fine pushing it if its a gray area but membership dues arent a gray area....

I just booked two FC tickets to Chile for a hike in Patagonia in a few weeks. Is that a qualified business expense (travel and entertainment) if all of the friends I'm traveling with are also clients?

Gonna lean no. (Meals should be at least 50% deductible if business is talked about).

The other side of that is that he might choose to join them, assimilate to an extent and never be heard from again.

It's why I like HI. No worries about that

Well, this is one of those super bright, young engineers. Can't do it himself. Not even smart enough to just ask an LLM.
