Tax Tip for 2013
There have been TWO major changes in the tax law concerning home offices, one relatively recent (in the last 15 years), and another very recent one that will affect your 2013 return.

It is very tax-payer friendly and particularly so for massage therapists. Is it easier? Absolutely! Simpler? For sure! Better? Not so fast!
