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.

Why do you assume deception? He wasn't facilitating cheating. Everything was perfectly legal. He gave me good advice for better record keeping, and taking all the legal deductions available to me as a home business - none of which I was aware. That's what a good accountant does.
