Katie, thank you so much. I completed a taxation course in my college, but the way how you explain makes me feel I would like to see you as my professor! Great content!

9:36am PST SaintOres.com Hello Miss Lori, I agree with you. I am making videos on the most common forms in order of the ones I see most in the tax returns I prepare. As for examples, I will make videos of complete business. There will be a nail salon, landscaping business, and trucking since I see a lot of those. Thanks for the suggestion.
Thanks for all the info. Reading Instructions for tax Year 2022. The instructions say If Claiming the Standard Deduction not to use Lines 10 & 11 for Mortgage Interest and Real Estate Taxes, Instead use Lines 16 & 17. Is this a new change?
Hello Jose, No, this is not a new change. The instructions to use Lines 16 and 17 instead of Lines 10 and 11 on Schedule C when claiming the standard deduction for mortgage interest and real estate taxes have been in place for several years. The purpose of this instruction is to ensure that taxpayers who claim the standard deduction do not mistakenly include deductions for mortgage interest and real estate taxes on their Schedule C, as these deductions are only available to taxpayers who itemize their deductions.
@@KatieStOresCFPChFCEA Thanks for replying back. You meant Lines 10 and 11 on form 8829? I thought instructions for Lines 10 and 11 were for form 8829 not for Schedule C. So If someone if Claiming the Standard Deduction where should they enter their Mortgage Interest and Real Estate Taxes in form 8829? Lines 10 and 11 or 16 and 17? Thank you for response.
Help, please. There are mirror direct/indirect boxes on 8829. I thought the first set are only for people who also itemize on Schedule A, but that is where your demo shows those figures going. Which set should I pick if I'm taking the SD? Sorry if you covered this and I missed it.
HI Katie you are amazing thank you, I have a question lets say my client wants to deduct rent, utilities , phone etc., lets say he pay pay electric bills monthly all year , do I need to multiply the result x 12? example pay $300 on electric bill all year round so 300 x 0.16 = $48 so I multiply 48x12=576 and I do the same math with other utilities that is paid all year ? Thank you in Advance
[01:25pm PST] @SaintOres.com Hello Evelin, Yes, that is a general idea. You will need to take yearly totals for each utility service paid and multiply them by the percentage of office space. Say it is 16% in your example.
I'll look into form, I've never gotten a request for it before. And remember, it's the government's job to make confusing forms for us to fill out. Good luck.
What about if you own a second home that's empty and being used exclusively for a mental health office? Can you use the entire home for the regular home office deduction? We also had the home rezoned as a home business in our county.
[4:38 PM PST] @SaintOres.com Hello Clewis, If it has been zoned already as home business use, and you use it regularly and exclusively as a mental health office, you should be able to write it off on Form 8829 (Expenses for Business Use of Your Home).
@Katie St Ores CFP, ChFC, EA thank you so much. We actually have 3 businesses, 2 are fairly (this is our first year doing taxes on them). When our new home is finished and we're using the second home exclusively for the practice, can we use the home office deduction for the office in our new house for one of the other businesses too?
[12:01 PM PST] @SaintOres.com Hey Clewis, Generally, you can claim the same home office space if you have more than one Schedule C business, but you can't deduct the office expenses multiple times. You'll have to split this expense between the businesses to only claim the total square footage space once on your return. In your case, claiming two businesses (separate Sch Cs)with two different homes (home office deductions) should work.
I live with my parent and he claims head of household as he is renting the house. I use part of my bedroom in the same house as my “home office”. Would I be able to include this space as a home office for my taxes even though I am not the person renting the house?
Hello Rewire, I can only give a general answer since I don't know all the specifics. A home office deduction most likely can't be claimed by you since you don't pay any home related expenses. However, you should consult a tax professional or use tax preparation software to determine if you meet all the eligibility criteria for claiming a home office deduction.
So my co-workers, all of us being solely W-2 employees, are all telling me I can deduct home office expenses, is this wrong for year 2022? Maybe something has changed they don't know about? I receive W-2 exclusively so it looks like I cannot deduct my home office even though I am 100% remote, URGH!
Hello Woofielove, Unfortunately, W-2 employees are no longer eligible for the home office deduction. Prior to tax year 2018, employees could deduct home office expenses as long as they passed the “convenience of employer” test. However, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), passed in late 2017, eliminated the home office deduction for employees. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act also eliminated other unreimbursed employment-related expenses, such as professional business license fees, work-related supplies, and travel expenses.

Thanks Tracker of Ghosts.... I appreciate the nice comment.
I hoped you'd explain how to come up with the business, personal, and commute mileage deduction. An example would be fantastic for beginners like me.😊

Hello! Do you have a video on how to fill out the IT 2104 form, aka the New York state tax form?
Hello Likkle bit, The closest video I have to that is for Form W-4, Employee's Withholding Certificate.
