Lindenberg Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 I know the "In furtherance of a business" has been discussed on about every LSA forum on the web but I haven't ran across this situation yet. Here is an hypothetical situation... Bill, fake name, flies his LSA and takes a picture of a mountains. Photography is Bill's hobby. Later Bill uploads some photos he took to a stock photo site and one of the photos is the mountain photo taken from the airplane. Months go buy and then someone downloads the picture and Bill get $1 for it. Is this breaking the "In furtherance of a business" rule? Bill is not running a photography business for profit, just for fun and there wasn't a paying customer for the flight. The IRS has a clear line drawn between a hobby and a business and what Bill is doing is a hobby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Lee Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 No not as you stated. But if he does it as a regular enterprise and with intent to sell and make any business claims then yes it's against the rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
