IRS Revokes Business Eligibility for Those Building Race Cars on YouTube Because 'Y'all Slow AF'
March 13, 2024

"...they keep repeating over and over again, "Y'all Slow AF.""

WASHINGTON D.C.—The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has stirred controversy by revoking business eligibility for individuals engaged in building race cars on YouTube. Citing a rather unconventional reason, the IRS spokesperson, who chose to remain anonymous, stated, "'Y'all Slow AF.'" This unexpected move has sparked confusion and struck the egos of driver's who once deluded themselves into believing they are quick.


The decision comes as a shock to many who have built businesses around showcasing the process of constructing race cars on the popular video-sharing platform. For years, content creators have leveraged YouTube to showcase their skills, attract sponsors, and expense everything down to the bolts. However, the sudden revocation of business eligibility throws a wrench into their plans, leaving many to fund their projects without the help of the government.


One content creator affected by this decision expressed disbelief, stating, "I've poured countless hours into building my channel and cultivating a community around my passion for race car fabrication. To not be able to expense my race cars is unfair. I mean churches are tax exempt and cars are MY religion."


The IRS's move raises questions about the criteria used to determine business eligibility for YouTube creators and the lack of transparency surrounding such decisions. Many argue that the decision fails to account for the entrepreneurial spirit and innovation fostered by online platforms like YouTube, which have enabled individuals to turn their hobbies into viable businesses.


In response to the backlash, the IRS has remained tight-lipped, offering no further explanation for its decision. Leaving everyone with one comment they keep repeating over and over again, "Y'all Slow AF."


As the automotive community on YouTube grapples with the implications of the IRS's decision, there is a growing call for greater transparency and accountability in the determination of business eligibility criteria. Content creators are hopeful that the IRS will reconsider its stance and they can go back to expensing part after part while you get 5% off by clicking their affiliate links.
