  7. There is more in the publication that explains it to be a transportation cost.
  8. Per: PUB 463 Daily transportation expenses you incur while traveling from home to one or more regular places of business are generally nondeductible commuting expenses. However, there may be exceptions to this general rule. You can deduct daily transportation expenses incurred going between your residence and a temporary workstation outside the metropolitan area where you live. Also, daily transportation expenses can be deducted if: (1) you have one or more regular work locations away from your residence or (2) your residence is your principal place of business and you incur expenses going between the residence and another work location in the same trade or business, regardless of whether the work is temporary or permanent and regard-less of the distance. Example 1. You regularly work in an office in the city where you live. Your employer sends you to a 1-week training session at a different office in the same city. You travel directly from your home to the training location and return each day. You can deduct the cost of your daily round-trip transportation between your home and the training location.

  15. Special assessments differ from property taxes in that the latter are levied for the support of the general functions of government, whereas special assessments are levied for the cost of specific local improvements such as streets, sewers, irrigation, and drainage. Common examples of special assessments are water, sidewalk, and sewer assessments, or other special improvements such as parks and recreational facilities. In some instances special assessments are periodically levied by improvement districts; in other instances they are levied only by the city and county for a particular work or improvement. Owners often either pay the special assessments in installments over several years or pay the balance in full. The sales contract should specify which party is responsible for payment of assessments, if any, at the time of closing. Typically, however, the seller pays for all improvements substantially completed by the closing date because of the increased property value generally resulting from the improvement. Improvements not substantially completed but authorized or in progress are usually assumed by the buyer. In any event, this matter is open to negotiation between buyer and seller. Special assessments are generally apportioned according to benefits received, rather than by the value of the land and buildings being assessed. This apportionment is frequently called the assessment-roll spread. For example, in a residential subdivision, the assessment for installation of storm drains, curbs, and gutters is made on a front-foot basis. The property owner is charged for each foot of his or her lot that abuts the street being improved. For income tax purposes, real estate taxes are currently deductible. Special assessments, however, are not directly deductible because they increase the value of the property and thus, like any other capital expenditure, add to the cost or basis of the property. The assessment is generally not eligible for depreciation, however. In some cases a special assessment is deductible if the investor/taxpayer can prove that all or part of the assessment is made for maintenance, repairs, or interest charges.

  16. I have a HP Deskjet 895cse printer, that I purchased new in the mid 90's for $59.00. I really liked it because of it's simplicity, and it printed enough tax returns and accounting material that would fill my office completely. Well....It got gummed up with ink and old age and just stopped printing, and I still had three new ink cartridges in store,,,,Dang! So I went and purchased a Brother multifunction laser printer/fax/scanner/copier $249.00. Last summer while in my hot Sunny, over heated garage, I came across that old Hp printer. I contemplated chucking it, But....."Idea"....I blasted it inside and out with the garden hose, stuck it back in that hot garage to dry. Today it's connected to my home computer, and is working as well as it did when I bought it. And YAY!....I gitta use up stored inky.........
  17. Blast it out with water hose...But let dry GOOD before use.
