ElectricSavant, Were you in tax court related to a 72(t) distribution from your IRA or is there something even more obscure that I'll need to research?
I will give you a hint....as I do not want to become a tax advisor to others in this public forum....your on the right track. Here is your hint in the form of a question. Are you a homeowner? Michael B.
=========================== Partly right, Electric Savant; however might not even sell this home ; have sold a home over7 years ago, & home office deduction worked fine -I remember things like that. Of course recapture rules may have been different 7 , 8 years ago. ======= With only 24 hours in the day, I skim the yearly IRS update; would rather study trading & others rather than BEHEMOTH-IRS tax code. True, Michael B,many IRS agents are helpful. === Speaking of court, have been in small claims court ,designed where lawyers arent necessary. Small claims court was fun; but time consuming. Dont consider tax matters small and even in years of small or whatever size tax bill; repeating pattern- don't consider tax matters small, no matter the size of tax bill.
