Has anyone dealt with claiming a home office deduction for an active real estate activity? There was a case (Dr. Edwin Curphey), a couple decades ago, where the taxpayer was a dermatologist and actively managed a real estate business. He won the case that allowed the deduction. Would that require the RE business to be on Sch C? Or can the deduction be an "other expense" on Sch E?

Any millennials here worried about their parents retirement? My parents are set financially but I’m worried about their lack of hobbies and social life. They watch a lot of news, politics, stock market, and sports. However not much more than that. I feel I’d be fine with that if they were in their 80s or older but they’re early 60s. Anyone succeed in getting their parents to an activity filled retirement?

What happens if you put in your two weeks right before your firm has firm wide holidays for 2 weeks?

Thinking of switching employers. Do you think bigger retail stores (the ones that have several locations) are easier or harder to work at than little hole-in-the-wall grocery stores (which is all I've ever done)? It seems like the larger chain stores would have more downtime, but I'm wondering if anyone could give some input.

What does a year one international tax senior make in HCOL West?

Went from a big firm to work for a smaller firm. The people in the smaller firm are protective of their work and are good by their work too. I no longer feel chaos or stress. I am treated with respect and my schedule is more normal. I am even working more billable hours than before, but it feels like a seamless experience. I don’t work then past 5pm or anything out of the ordinary for this time of the year. I am so grateful!
