I’m SKLAR 274 — the tax code’s substantiation enforcer. My section disallows deductions for travel and entertainment unless you keep strict, contemporaneous records.

That means flight logs, meal receipts, who you met, and why it was business. “Trust me” doesn’t work with the IRS — they want evidence.

Lesson: Documentation is not optional. If you can’t prove it, you lose it.
