Learning Objective

  • To identify the differences in home office treatment for varying situations.
  • To evaluate individual taxpayer scenarios to apply home office rules.
  • To analyze historical court rulings to inform decision-making.
  • To assess entity criteria for applicability for an accountable plan.

Course Overview

This course is valid up to December 31st, 2024 for CFP Professionals. It is advisable to complete this course before that to process the credit on time.

In recent years, there has been a noticeable surge in the number of taxpayers opting to work from home, a trend that gained even more momentum due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

This paradigm shift in the way people work has sparked a heightened interest in the tax implications associated with home offices. In this context, it becomes imperative to delve into the Office in the Home rules, with a particular emphasis on self-employed taxpayers. Understanding these rules is crucial for self-employed individuals who seek to claim deductions related to their home offices, as it can significantly impact their tax liability.

Expanding further, it's not just self-employed taxpayers who need to navigate these rules. Home offices can also be relevant for various business entities. Therefore, your investigation should extend to exploring how these rules apply to entities, such as partnerships and S corporations, which often involve multiple owners and unique tax considerations. Additionally, the concept of accountable plans comes into play when reimbursing employees for home office expenses. This facet adds another layer of complexity to the topic, requiring thorough comprehension to ensure compliance with IRS regulations.

Furthermore, it's important to address the specific nuances related to taxpayers involved in the trade or business of real estate rentals. The IRS has distinct guidelines for individuals engaged in rental activities, and understanding how these rules intersect with home office deductions can provide valuable insights for taxpayers in this sector.

Major Topics Covered:

  • The complexities of unique income sources.
  • The expenses and write-offs that are permitted for unique industries.
  • Including deductible expenses on individual and entity tax returns.
  • Unique expenses to propose to clients that are not typical outside of unique industries.
  • Core understanding of these industries and how to best serve clients who work in them

Join this CE Tax Course to stay updated on these tax regulations as tax professionals and individuals alike need to make informed decisions and optimize their tax positions while complying with the law.

This is the second course where the video stops, and I try to resume, and it takes me from all the way back to the beginning. So the courses are taking longer than advertised.
