Hi Bob,
No...
It would only be fraud if one intentionally ommited entering
the income of the transaction with an intent to defraud, if
one deliberately left the income out of one's accountings,
and or while, having entered the deduction for which a
receipt of purchase and receipt of deduction were retained.
While, an unintended oversight would not be fraud, rather,
it would be a mere, unintended oversight.
Phrased differently, or, in hommage to those now long gone
'Valley Girls'...(sigh...)
"Get Real ! "
Best wishes,
Phil

Whose 'Books' not only delighted the auditors, but they
wished everyone were as friendly, neat, orderly, playful,
good humored and sincere...in fact, I had them in stitches
at times making 'tax-jokes' of various kinds, and THAT...is
not something everyone may find 'easy' to do...plus, they
raved about my Coffee...
