All you need is a part time gig to deduct the expenses for that
business.

Most people I know who have jobs don't have "part time gigs", but
many of them drive SUVs.

There's no law that says you have to have one to drive an SUV. G

However, lots of jobs that may look like employees, because they
work
often at the same place, like real estate agents, hair dressers,
nurses, doctors, sales people, financial planners, flight
instructors, exotic dancers, etc... are actually paid as
sub-contractors and entitled to business expense deductions.

I've never met a nurse who was paid as a sub-contractor. In fact I
suspect their union would go ballistic over it.

Some of the part-time gigs that allow people to deduct expenses can
include musicians, tutors and private teachers, artists, Tupperware
and Pampered Chef party organizers, personal trainers, lawn mowing,
handymen, woodworkers, tax preparers...

The point is that extremely favorable tax treatment (sometimes, very
loosely applied and not caught by the IRS) steered lots of folks
from
cars to large vehicles.

Which accounts for at most a quarter of the sales of SUVs.
