        Yeah, if this was a credit that’d be a different story and very ripe for exploitation. However, a deduction is still quite a bit of money to reduce your taxable income by.

        my comment implies there was already a business or a business to be made, and closing and reopen was a metod to game system for 50k deduction, hence less taxes, each time this is done

          If your business is doing so poorly that deducting a single person’s wage for the first year is worth that effort then…I guess yeah. Game away.
