No judgment tax question. Would a covered deck extension and repair to be used for work purposes (home office) be classified a deductible business expense? Need guidance.

Yes if it has a tiki bar feature per Section 807 (a) part C, item ii. Specifically states covered decks without tiki bars are non-deductible.

2018 tax act chages that, now you need at least two beers on tap to quilify for a deduction. Hard seltzer and zima doesn't qualify.

Thanks but need more clarity.

Commissioner v. Thurston Howell III

If you're a partner in the US, you are considered self-employed and therefore should generally be able to deduct home office expenditures. There are specific rules about how to determine what portion of your property is deductible for home office purposes (usually based on total square footage unless it is a separate structure). You should research those rules or consult your tax preparer to figure out how it applies to your property.

Thank you!

Let’s talk office set ups. I am looking at a Uplift standing desk as my big splurge because I have back issues, and the room I work in has horrible lighting so I’m considering some sort of selfie light ring type thing that I can clip to my monitor.

So someone I know asked HR about a boot policy. When he found out that there wasn’t one, but his boss said there was (who gave the guys $ for boots and the claimed it on his expense reimbursements as something else) the boss got mad at him for askingHR (and in trouble for the expense reimbursements) and then 2 days later laid off my friend. There appears to be no notice of bad performance and this person always was the first person on the job site ready to work. Thoughts?

My criteria: mesh seat and back, arms, headrest

I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.

Hello RSM coworkers! I am thrilled to be moving to RSM into a Scheduler roll. I just found out yesterday and want to be as prepared as possible in the next steps.

So here are my questions.

How long does the background study take? I'm guessing admin staff have a study that is faster and less complicated than someone in Tax ect.

When training at home what did you need that wasn't supplied by RSM? My home office is well stocked but I want to be as prepared as possible.

Thanks in advance!

Just landed a full time gig, looking to get some furniture so I’m not working on my parents’ kitchen table during this remote period. Any recommendations for desks and chairs? I’m hoping to find something that’s easy to assemble and break down for when I need to move, and something that won’t cost an arm and a leg.

I know everyone has a different kind of setup that works for them. I currently have a laptop, drawing pad, second monitor, and a desk riser.

I’m a temp to hopefully perm hire (with over 9 years of admin and 5 years of exec admin experience) working for a large well known nonprofit in DC. I’m working for 2 execs doing very heavy calendaring, redesigning the dept onboarding/off boarding program, and extensive expense reports to name a few things. What can I expect for salary for this position/company?
