My husband actually went to school to become a CPA. He doesn’t practice, as he hated it and only did it, so he could do his father’s taxes (he ran a trading shop for NASCAR toys).. He said the same thing and told his Dad the same thing. Writing off the whole house is a huge no-no and huge red flag for the IRS... He said half of what they do, especially that trip to St. Pete, would be audited and told that it couldn’t be written off...These idiots! I’m married to a CPA (certified public accountant for those not in the US). I just asked why we don’t write off our home office in our taxes. He said no one does that because it’s not worth it & opens you up to potential audits by the government! He has no idea who fathering autism is-I just asked as a random question. But seriously this shows the Asses lack of education & general stupidity with anything that involves finances. Ass is the epitome of ‘poor dad’ in the Rich Dad, Poor Dad financial advice books!! It’s a good read btw!!
I feel like the CPA company that they hired, one day, will have to sit down with the IRS and go over their files with a tooth and comb. I can only hope it is like what happened in For Richer or For Poorer (with Tim Allen) and I can only hope they pay greatly for it because they know what they are doing isn’t right...
