Hello,

If you have a PRI-T1 in the USA, then you can set outgoing CallerID
with just about any carrier.

I can set to anything on my Qwest circuit. All zeros or whatever,
just has to be ten digits. I have seen some that will send less than
ten like a four digit extension number on a misconfigured system.

Thanks,

My questions was to the fact that JRA mentioned he knows at least 3
owners..... to which I asked if it was LLCs or other type of
corporations, since LLCs have different rules. What I mentioned about
it being illegal is for non LLC type of corporations, but for most of
the other types of corporations, while it's possible that it is
illegal for LLCs as well in some states I could understand that the
rules could be relaxed for LLCs as well. As far as the IRS goes i'm
quite positive that it's illegal for tax purposes, in other words it
cannot be counted as a business expense.
The way I understand this:

towards the bottom of the page, it cannot always be used as a business
expense. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Yeah, but what do you get billed as? I understand if your callerID and the
called party is from within a state, it's interstate routing. If between
states, then it's intrastate, etc

The billing depends on the callerID you send.
So, if you send a 000-000-0000 clid to a 917 area code, what would the call
be routed/billed as?

Reading up a bit more it seems that I could be wrong about that last
part with the IRS rules, and in fact that link is meant for the
property owner how to file this income, and nothing about the
corporation.

If it shows up as the BTN on the CDRs then technically you should be
billed at the highest possible tariff. Whether your provider will do
that or not depends what they are charged. In general the provider/s
shouldn't use CID as the BTN and therefore you shouldn't be over or
under charged. Even in cases where the CID is actually passed along as
the BTN, the provider should still keep track of you by circuit ID
rather than CID, however when they have to pay their tariffs I am
assuming they will be charged based on BTN which they based on CID
that you set, which will in turn make them lose money IF they are
charged at highest possible tariff.

In conclusion, I don't know what you are charged because I haven't
seen your bills. I don't know if the providers actually have the
capabilities to do BTN different than CID (I am assuming they could),
and if they do have the capablity they should actually make sure that
the BTN is always set to what it is and not CID. If they don't they
should pass on any high tariffs resulting from that to you.

Bzzzt I'm not an accountant, and don't play one on tv but you are wrong.

This only relates to the classification of the income as passive and has
nothing to do with can a director of a business shield himself.

Go pay someone $250 an hour and they'll tell you how it affects you and
stop wasting electrons on this sill email chain.
Cheers,
