Occasionally, while preparing somebody’s tax return, it appears that they just barely fall short of being able to itemize deductions instead of taking the standard exemption.

Normally when someone has not filed income tax returns for a few years, the IRS is willing to just get the returns filed and paid. It usually has no jail time involved. IRS will charge interest and some penalties.

However, a taxpayer named Laubly was sentenced to 96 months in jail for willful failure to file a tax return and for tax evasion. Perhaps it was the tax evasion charge that the court found as adequate reason for the jail time sentence.

Several folks have indicated they have a sole owner business and use a part of their home regularly and exclusively for business use. They have not claimed that deduction because they heard it would cause an IRS audit of their tax return.

Our experience is the deduction is fine, OK to claim. IRS has recently even issued a Revenue Procedure for a “safe harbor” Office in Home deduction. Rev. Proc. 2013-13 offers an optional method of figuring the deduction.

A 36-year-old Carson City man faces misdemeanor charges of hit and run and driving while under the influence of drugs after admitting he had taken six Ambien the night before to help him sleep and then woke up to drive his children to school.

Over one hundred years ago, the Church started a seminary program in religious studies for its youth.
