Thank you. states he is required to have an office in his home because there is no space at headquarters (or something like that). If the employer won't provide such a letter, don't claim office in home. -- Tom Healy, CPA Boulder, CO Web: http://www.tomhealycpa.com << -------------------------------------------------> << The Charter and the Guidelines for submitting > << messages to this newsgroup are at www.asktax.org > << -------------------------------------------------> |

| Office-In-Home and Commuting How hard is it to prove that a W2 employee has an office in his home for the convenience of his employer and not for his own needs. I have an electrical worker that get's assigned jobs from the union that are all temporary in nature. I have taken the position of deducting only those miles that are outside of his metropolitan area even if he drives back home every night. This area is Fremont and I'm counting anything that is 50 miles or greater away. However, if we can substantiate an office-in-home, it sounds like we could deduct any mileage whether in or out of this area. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you. << -------------------------------------------------> << The Charter and the Guidelines for submitting > << messages to this newsgroup are at www.asktax.org > << -------------------------------------------------> |
