Imagine a movie that debuts in the theaters without anyone knowing in advance it is coming. Would that film succeed? Not likely. Hollywood knows better. Even a terrible movie can be pushed over $1000,000,000 by imaginative publicity. Consider this summer’s blockbuster Pirates of the Caribbean. In spite of the fact that the movie is a sequel
The number one rule about qualifying for a home office deduction is that whichever part of your home you use as a home office must only be used by you and must only be used as a home office.
A Home Office, And Nothing But A Home Office In other words, if your home office is in the den and you use it as a home office ten hours a day, but then flip the computer into game mode, or turn on the TV to watch the Tonight Show, bye-bye home office deduction.
The exception is that if your computer area in the den is used for nothing expect you home business--no games, kids in chat rooms, or listening to MLB--you can get a home office deduction equivalent to the cost of keeping that much of your den, say a space 4’x 6’--operational.
If you and your spouse each have a home business and use the same office, bye-bye home office deduction for both of you. You can get around this, if your home has the space, by having separate home offices in different rooms.

As a Merger and Acquisition advisor, we regularly dialogue with the top executives in the information technology industry. We have to chuckle when we reach a decision maker with a large IT company and he says, "We have a corporate policy that we do not buy companies." Does this guy read the industry publications? Is his company's development group

It seems that just about everyone has some kind of issues with money.
