I don't know how you are drawing that conclusion.  All I pointed out was that the expenses are minimal in relation to the person's income and that I read that Sch C isn't needed if expenses are not being claimed.  Nowhere in my post did I say the expenses wouldn't be taken.   All expenses taxpayer provided are reflected on the Sch C and they have MINIMAL impact on the return.  Of course, you have no way of knowing as you do not know the amounts involved.  One shouldn't assume.
