|
Date: September 28th, 2017 3:25 PM Author: azure mewling theater stage jew I'm not sure, I don't do the taxes but I know it's based on square footage that's actually used as an office and also tied to the cost basis of your home. Last year we only claimed like 150 square feet home office and deduction ended up being $5-6k. the thing is if you get audited you can totally furnish a 400 square foot office with a bookcase, desk computers etc. we will prob only do like 250 feet though. Our accountant says no audit risk unless your deductions outpace your 1099 income and the absolute amount of biz deduction is small. $10-15k in biz expenses isn't nuts. The 1099 income is vastly dwarfed by w2 income so he says irs knows we are already paying a lot. If you're making $500k 1099 and writing off $400k, then that's different. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3746671&forum_id=2#34318745) |
|
Date: September 28th, 2017 3:27 PM Author: Wine Lodge Old Irish Cottage yea the audit risk is low but if you are using the home office deduction in excess of your actual 1099 income, you are rolling the dice on that one...FYI. home office deductions are one of the things they scrutinize more (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3746671&forum_id=2#34318762) |
|
Date: September 28th, 2017 3:35 PM Author: azure mewling theater stage jew We took pics of a "mock office" with time stamps just in case. I think with $15k and $6k in home office deductions it should be ok. We keep all receipts too. The thing that is really a bit ridiculous is that my husband works with his friend with a legit business who pays him $100/hr to do this shit on the side when he has time but 90% of the time, they are doing just friends stuff but they write off all their meals as working meals and they go to Tahoe and ski trips and write it off.

|
Date: September 28th, 2017 3:16 PM Author: pink sex offender jfc. We're so conservative with our Schedule C deductions. Also never bothered to set up an entity (I'm 100% 1099). (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3746671&forum_id=2#34318641) |

|
Date: September 28th, 2017 3:25 PM Author: Wine Lodge Old Irish Cottage should at least be 15% of your mortgage, you use more than your office. you need a bathroom during the day. you need a kitchen to eat, etc.
all your utilities - you need phone, internet, electricity, sewage, trash, etc. for your office
all new electronics (laptops ipads etc.) should be for "work"
meals/car leases/trips etc. go without saying |

|
Date: September 28th, 2017 3:30 PM Author: azure mewling theater stage jew I hope you're writing off part of the garage construction as an expense. I don't know the rules as my husband handles but there are ways.
Also funny on the carport rule, LA just got ride of their covered carport rule in 2017 so that people can build more "affordable housing" by legally converting their garages into dwellings. Our garage now has a full bath and mini kitchen. That's why we were able to do ours easily permit wise and now our property values will be higher due to rental potential. |
|
Date: September 28th, 2017 3:45 PM Author: pink sex offender Yeah, we are writing off the conversion.
We have two sets of plans: One for permit purposes and one for what's happening post-inspection. It's ridiculous as what's there now is a 20-y/o cheap conversion (with full kitchen and full bath) and we're making it much nicer, but city planning dept won't let us expand the width of the doors or windows and are making us reconvert half of it to a "carport" rather than a livable space. We're also supposed to be doing away with either the kitchen or the bathroom. All sorts of issues with housing here of course, people living in RVs, etc., but then these silly rules -- just driving people to do things without getting permits. |
