New tools explain tax rules for home office deductions.

The AICPA has added two new products to help CPAs explain to existing or potential clients the often confusing rules surrounding tax deductions for home offices.

Home Offices: Opening the Door to Tax Deductions (product no. 889521JA) is a six-panel brochure explaining general rules

for determining home office deductions. It describes deductible costs and how to report them to the Internal Revenue Service. A section focuses on differences in the ways the IRS and the Tax Court interpret rules regarding home office expenses. The cost of the brochure, which is suitable for client mailings and office display, is $20 per 100 copies.

In addition, a 15- to 20-minute speech, Understanding the Tax Treatment of Home Office Expenses (product no. 890667JA), costs $4.50 per copy.

To order either product, contact the AICPA order department at 1-800-TO-AICPA.
