There was only one special case which was won in court, because the taxpayers proved that the expense was “ordinary and necessary” to their business. Only expenses that can be proven to be “ordinary and necessary” for a business are tax deductible.
Thank you,

My husband pastor ed a church. It was registered as a non-profit org. We (him & myself) purchased a church with a loan. The church did not make it and we closed it down and sold it. My question is what are the taxes associated with the sale. There was a small profit after paying off everything.

In TurboTax, go to the dependent section and use the Guide Me feature. That will help you determine what’s possible.

However, if you paid taxes in and believe you have a refund due in those years, then hurry up and file. If you have a refund coming (and 80% of all filers get a refund), there will be no penalties imposed. Also, with the years you mentioned, there is a 3-year statute of limitations, which means you need to file within 3 years of the filing deadline. So at this point, you can still file for 2007 and later. TurboTax is still available on CD for those years.
