Question

A taxpayer takes six clients to an NBA playoff game. If all of the tickets (list price of $120 each) are purchased on the Internet for $1,800 ($300 each), only $60 ($120 × 50% overall limitation) per ticket is deductible.
A) True

B) False

Answer 1

Answer: B. False

Explanation: the statement is false, because If all the tickets are purchased on the internet for $1800($300 each) instead of the list price of $120 each for one ticket, it makes no economic sense to buy on the internet.

Only if buying the tickets on the internet is the same rate or cheaper will it make economic sense.
