Home Office Deduction Rules Change...

orson

I just recieved notice of a change in federal tax law concerning the home office deduction for small business.

It appears they are capping the deduction at $2000 if I am reading it right. Has anyone's accountant translated the gobulty guck for them yet?

Here's a link to the legislation:

With all due respect, this is a bill introduced by one member of the House of Representatives with no co - sponsors yet. There is a significant legislative process to go through before it becomes law. That may not happen until the next President and Congress are in place.

That said I think a tax professional would be working from a crystal ball advising from this bill.

It's not my intent to bemoan your thread with the name of the link below. It was just a clear explanation of where the bill is and it was in the first few that came back on the net search.

P.S. I've got my eye on the significant potential rise in Soc Sec taxes ?

I got the same read as you. But it's tough to say because of all the circular wording. I take it that the bill has been introduced, not yet passed.

It would be a bummer if true. Last year the home office deuction made me want to hug my accountant.















Almost.

Good Luck
Dave

I hope that doesn't include utility use as well, that will suck!

I also think its crap that they can apply it to this years tax return so late in the year. So much for knowing what our government is up to.

Thanks for the clarification, I went back and looked and of course my email did say the bill is in committee, I just missed it and jumped to conclusions.

So who is this "Ms. Vela' Zquez" that introduced this bright idea?
