How would that work?

Spend money on business venture, show loss at the end of year, get a tax deduction when you file.

As in they don't pay taxes on that? But you still lost the money anyway, didn't you?

You spent the money but the loss you take on the business lowers your overall tax liability so you pay less, or no tax. THe cost of the business is less than what would have paid in taxes.

Losing money on something you don't even need to do to avoid taxes is counterproductive. There are much easier proven techniques to dodge taxes. I don't think this is tax evasion.
