<p>[QUOTE=&quot;charley, post: 25287842, member: 5372&quot;]When I was young I used to bark at the squirrel in the trees and I claimed private security for the real estate.</p><p><br /></p><p>For some reason, it didn&#039;t woik.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now I ask myself if the deduction is reasonable and will pass the &quot;Huh?&#039; test @ IRS. I consider that it may be OK in the rush of the season, but (there is always a &quot;but&quot;), that is not when the IRS attacks the Wagon Train. They wait (up to 7 years) to release arrows.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have learned that if it isn&#039;t clearly interpreted as a no questions deduction when I read the Rules, I don&#039;t waste my time and I certainly don&#039;t use an accountant slap-happy opinion, because the accountant isn&#039;t on the hook, I am. I don&#039;t care if it is a CPA, a RahRahRah Interpretation Expert or my neighbor.</p><p><br /></p><p>I sleep well, by not worrying about it. So I pay a few more tax $. Big deal.</p><p><br /></p><p>Truth in editing: changed &quot;d&quot; to &quot;f&quot;. It happens.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
