Because someone from the Internal Revenue Service is searching for "Amway and federal tax" and reading the relevant posts on my blog about Amway tax cheats, and because tax season is upon us, I thought I'd revisit the whole "get a tax refund if you're in Amway" scheme that is widely promoted by the Amway cult's leaders and promoters.
Everything in Amway is a tax deductible, according to our Amway upline, and Amway tax returns are considered part of an IBO's revenue, according to our Amway upline. To put it another way, an IBO's only way to make money in Amway is to deduct the costs of running his or her business from the income they get from their regular job, with the only Amway income coming in the form of a tax refund. Our upline assured us that we would receive a substantial tax refund if we deducted all of our Amway expenses, whether they were genuine or not.
When I went to Amway meetings, I sat in on the Platinum level meetings, and it seemed like everyone else in the room was gushing about how things couldn't be better and how their Amway business was booming. Following that, these same IBOs claim they will receive a substantial return after submitting their income taxes.
Ambot was completely captivated. He had no notion that, according to our upline, the key to earning a tax return was to become an Amway Independent Business Owner (IBO). The government is giving you money for nothing!
Refund? When your company is performing well, it's easy to have a good chuckle.
Ambots are unable to comprehend this concept.
If your firm generates an excessive amount of revenue (income) and you do not have an enough amount of deductions (expenses), you will owe money at tax time. Yay! Everything is going swimmingly!
Generally, if you do not earn much money and your costs exceed your income, the government will pay you a refund. Boo! Business is a load of shite!
To put it another way, it is nearly impossible for an IBO to claim that business is booming and that they are making a lot of money while simultaneously claiming that they are receiving a substantial tax rebate. Alternatively, tax return money from running an Amway firm, as ambots refer to it.
Most Amway IBOs, in addition to being fictitious business owners, hold down a day job with a legitimate corporation and earn regular paychecks. When tax time comes along, those sly Amway bastards deduct all of their Amway expenses (XS, Perfect Water, vitamins, food bars, motels, function tickets, meals, travel, and so on) from their job's revenue, so increasing their take-home pay.
That is the only way most Amway independent business owners (IBOs) make money. By classifying everything they spend on Amway as a business expense and deducting it from their salary, they can reduce their taxable income.
They are little ambot bastards who lie about everything! Tax evaders, take note!
Now here's a major hint, ambots! Unless you operate a grocery store, products that you eat (groceries!) or items that you use for cleaning around your house cannot be deducted as business costs in order to receive a tax return unless you own a cleaning service. If you're an Amway Independent Business Owner (IBO), and you're claiming travel and restaurant expenditures on your taxes, you better be able to demonstrate some sort of Amway income profit from the sale of Amway items. If Uncle Sam manages to track you down, you'll be up the creek without a paddle!
People who run a respectable business that has nothing to do with Amway, how do they feel about it? All legitimate business owners have tax identification numbers, business licences, insurance, and accounting software into which they enter all monies received from clients and all monies paid out in the process of running their businesses. Expenses incurred in the course of conducting business that can be deducted. During tax season, we back it all up on a CD and hand it over to our accountants. This is due to the fact that we are wise enough to hire the services of a professional who checks that we have entered everything correctly and that we have not left any information out, and who also does everything in their power to ensure that they write off as many legitimate expenses as they possibly can so that we have less money to pay back to the government in what we owe in taxes.
Everything in Amway (XS, Perfect Water, vitamins, laundry soap, and cleaning goods, among other things) is a valid business deduction, which is a far cry from "counselling with upline."
Our accountant, by the record, was not in agreement with our Amway upline. Refused to deal with anything that had to do with Amway. Instead of dealing with pyramid scams, accountants prefer to deal with respectable enterprises.
So much for the adage "never challenge your superiors"!
Preparing for an audit is essential if you are running a fictitious Amway business and following your upline's guidance on how to file your taxes so that you can earn your money in Amway by receiving a government tax refund check; otherwise, you could find yourself in serious trouble.
If nothing else, we were told when we visited Amway, that the company is a good tax haven. The taxman, on the other hand, might disagree. Another source of interest is provided below:

A Complete Guide to Tax Season for Amway Independent Business Owners
When it comes to filing taxes, being an Amway Independent Business Owner (IBO), sometimes known as a "Ambot," can provide its own set of responsibilities and difficulties. When operating a company based on the Amway model, there are a number of different income streams, expenses, and deductions that need to be accurately accounted for. The purpose of this in-depth reference is to provide Amway Ambots with assistance in navigating the tax landscape, ensuring compliance, and making the most of the tax incentives available to them.
I. Having a Good Understanding of Your Company's Structure:
Independent Contractor Status: If you are an Amway Independent Business Owner, you are not regarded to be an employee but rather an independent contractor. The manner in which you record your income and expenses for tax reasons is modified as a result of this distinction.
Alternatives for Businesses to Form: You might decide to run your business as a sole proprietorship, a partnership, or even establish a different legal entity such as an LLC, depending on the specifics of your situation. Because the tax repercussions of each structure are distinct, it is important that you discuss your options with a tax expert in order to establish which option will benefit you the best.
II. Declaring Your Revenue:
Revenue from Sales: Any money made via the sale of Amway products needs to be reported as revenue from the business. Keep careful records of all sales transactions, commissions, and bonus payments because these are all considered taxable forms of income.
Royalty revenue: If you get royalties from downline sales or other sources, this revenue should also be reported as business income. Royalties can originate from a variety of sources.
III. Keeping Tabs on Expenses and Claiming Tax Deductions:
Expenses linked to company: As an Independent Business Owner for Amway, you will be responsible for a variety of costs linked to your company activities. A few examples of these are product purchases, marketing materials, training activities, travel charges, and shipping fees, but there are many of others. Maintain precise records of these expenses, and discuss your options with a tax specialist, in order to establish which of these expenses qualify for a tax deduction.
Deduction for Home Office Expenses You may be entitled for a deduction for home office expenses if you utilize a certain area of your home exclusively for conducting Amway business. Because of this deduction, you are able to classify a portion of the costs associated with your house, such as rent, electricity, and insurance, as expenses linked to your business.
Taxes Related to Self-Employment If you work as a freelancer or independent contractor, you are responsible for paying taxes related to self-employment. These taxes include contributions to Social Security and Medicare. The amount of your net income from the firm is used as the basis for calculating these taxes.
4. Getting the Most Out of Your Tax Deductions:
Travel and Transportation Expenses Attending Amway conferences, meetings, or training events may result in deductible travel expenses. These expenses may include the cost of transportation. Keep track of your miles, airfare, accommodation, and food costs, as well as any other costs associated with this trip.
Advertising & Promotion: Expenses incurred for the production of marketing materials, participation in advertising campaigns, the purchase of business cards, the hosting of a website, and other forms of promotion can be written off as legitimate business expenses.
Training and Education: You may be able to deduct the money you spend to attend Amway-sponsored training events, conferences, seminars, and workshops.
Inventory and Samples: You are allowed to deduct the amount that it cost you to purchase inventory and product samples for the purpose of demonstration or for your own personal use. Maintain an accurate record of inventory purchases as well as any products that are used for marketing reasons or that are consumed personally.
V. Observance of Regulations and Maintenance of Records
Maintaining precise and accurate records of your income and expenditures is a crucial component of effective bookkeeping. To guarantee accurate record-keeping, either use bookkeeping software or consult a professional accountant.
Taxes Estimated Every Quarter If you are a person who is self-employed, you may be required to make tax payments estimated every quarter in order to avoid incurring penalties and interest. It is in your best interest to discuss the calculation of your estimated tax burden and payment plan with a qualified tax specialist.
Tax Filing Deadlines: Get yourself familiar with the tax filing dates that apply to your particular business structure, and ensure that you are in compliance with all of the federal, state, and local tax laws.
VI. Seeking Assistance from Qualified Professionals:
Tax Advisor Because of the one-of-a-kind character of Amway firms, it is strongly recommended to confer with a tax advisor who possesses prior expertise collaborating with small businesses and independent contractors. They are able to personalize their advice to your specific needs and guarantee that you are maximizing your deductions while also adhering to all applicable tax regulations.
Legal Counsel: Seeking the counsel of a business attorney can be helpful in ensuring that you make well-informed decisions and correctly organize your company, particularly in difficult circumstances or when contemplating the formation of a separate legal organization.
When it comes to filing taxes, Amway Ambots need to pay close attention to every detail, maintain proper records, and have a comprehensive awareness of how the actions of their businesses affect their taxes. You will be able to successfully navigate the tax environment, minimize your tax liability, and maximize your deductions if you stay organized, get professional counsel, and maximize your deductions. This will allow you to focus on developing your Amway business. Keep in mind that this guide only gives broad information, and that it is absolutely necessary to speak with an experienced tax professional in order to receive individualized guidance that is tailored to your particular circumstances.
