True story. When I first started itemizing, I was referred by my co-workers to a certain "accountant" in Brooklyn. When I got my return from him, I had the good sense to go over it before mailing it to the IRS. One of the things I caught was the fact that I was depreciating my office furniture and computer, all of which was supplied by my employer. As well as spending a few thousand dollars a year on "client meals", which was kind of a shock because a good 70% of my clients were in jail.

I got an extension to file, and then went to a real accountant.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
