Currently, unless a business owner sees their customers or patients in their home they cannot take a deduction for business expenses such as utility costs. My bill would allow someone like a landscape company owner who obviously performs a service at lets say someone's home or business by mowing their lawn or trimming their hedges, but any administrative work such as billing, or preparing estimates for prospective customers is done in their home office. I believe that aspect of their business that kind of paper work is an integral part of their business. In fact, of the over 70 co-sponsors, a number of them are Democratic members of Congress. I believe that they are supportive of this because they understand that this is a common sense solution to a problem for many of the over 14 million home-based business owners in our country.
