It sounds like those who are afraid to write off a legitimate expense such as a home office are perhaps trying to hide real tax fraud.
I write off my office. I pay my taxes. I don't worry about an audit, because I don't have anything to hide. What in the FUCK could you possibly be doing that your CPA would tell you to leave out a perfectly legitimate deduction?
Am I understanding correctly... leave out the "small stuff" so you can fudge majorly where it counts? I have a really straight laced CPA, so I have never heard many "creative account" options. I just find it really insteresting/confusing why someone would intentionally leave out valid deductions.
