About me
I am a Los Angeles-based columnist for Bloomberg BusinessWeek. I have also written for The Los Angeles Times, Newsday, The Chicago Tribune, Newsweek, The Los Angeles Daily News and Sunset magazine.
About this blog
A place to link all my business writing and podcasting together, along with occasional comments on the remarkable people I interview and the ideas I'm privileged to disseminate.
I also reserve the right to blog on random social, political and business issues in the hope that I can add something to the greater public discussion.

Well yay and finally! I've long been eligible for this deduction (I've been freelancing nearly all of my adult life), but my accountant thought it wasn't worth the headache, and he was right. Maybe now...
ReplyDeleteI always recommend that people who legitimately use their home as their workspace take the deduction. I have taken it for 23 years now without incident and it's made it worthwhile to continue as a home-based freelancer.
ReplyDeleteI've never found it all that difficult to take, but my accountant handles the tough stuff, so maybe I don't see that hard part of it.
